#+TITLE: Deputy53
#+LATEX: \pagebreak

* Overview

  ~deputy53~ is a commandline tool to delegate control of a subdomain to another
  hosted zone, and optionally grant control of that subdomain to an IAM user.

* Rationale

  It is often useful to allow a user or group of users limited access to DNS
  records. However, Route53 does not support granular access to a partial record
  set for a zone.

  One solution to this is to create an additional zone, and delegate to that
  zone for a subset of records (a subdomain, for instance).

  This process is cumbersome, and therefore prone to human error. ~deputy53~
  simplifies this process.

* Installation

  #+BEGIN_SRC shell
    gem install deputy53
  #+END_SRC

* Usage

  #+BEGIN_SRC shell
    deputy53 delegate <subdomain>
  #+END_SRC
