akamai-deploy-dns-zone-github-action

GitHub Action which deploys DNS zone files to Akamai's Edge DNS via DNS API calls

Important Note: please copy the YAML syntax from this README file (see "workflow.yml Example" section below) into your action YAML and update the "zoneName" parameter to match your DNS domain

Deploy DNS zone to Akamai Edge DNS

This action calls the Akamai DNS API to deploy a DNS zone file into the corresponding Akamai EDGE DNS zone.

Usage

Setup your repository with the following file:

<repository name>
            - [domain.zone]

For example if your DNS domain is "example.com" you should have a file called "example.com.zone" containing the DNS records. See DNS Zone File for reference.

A DNS zone file would look something like this:

example.com.  IN  SOA   ns.example.com. username.example.com. ( 2007120710 1d 2h 4w 1h )
example.com.  IN  NS    ns                    ; ns.example.com is a nameserver for example.com
example.com.  IN  NS    ns.somewhere.example. ; ns.somewhere.example is a backup nameserver for example.com
example.com.  IN  MX    10 mail.example.com.  ; mail.example.com is the mailserver for example.com
example.com.  IN  A     192.0.2.1             ; IPv4 address for example.com
              IN  AAAA  2001:db8:10::1        ; IPv6 address for example.com
ns            IN  A     192.0.2.2             ; IPv4 address for ns.example.com
              IN  AAAA  2001:db8:10::2        ; IPv6 address for ns.example.com
www           IN  CNAME example.com.          ; www.example.com is an alias for example.com
mail          IN  A     192.0.2.3             ; IPv4 address for mail.example.com

Secrets

All sensitive variables should be set as encrypted secrets in the action's configuration.

You need to declare an EDGERC secret in your repository containing the following structure :

[dns]
client_secret = your_client_secret
host = your_host
access_token = your_access_token
client_token = your_client_token

You can retrieve these from Akamai Control Center >> Identity Management >> API User.

Inputs

zoneName (Required)

DNS Zone name: the name of your DNS domain ('example.com' in our example)

workflow.yml Example
