Description
Create the record in Amazon AWS Route53. This requires either a user or an IAM role with the following permissions on the zone:
route53:GetChange, route53:ListHostedZones and route53:ChangeResourceRecordSets.
IAM
The IAM role method can only work from inside an EC2 instance. Note that the program expects to recieve an IAM role name, so not the ARN.
The plugin need to be unpacked into the folder where you also unpacked
wacs.exe to able to use it. Depending on how you downloaded the file,
you may have to unblock all new .dll files before your computer will trust
them. You can do that from the Windows File Explorer by using the right mouse button
and then checking the `Unblock` box on the General tab.
If you are using simple-acme as a dotnet tool, the folder will be %userprofile%\.dotnet\tools\.store\simple-acme\2.3.0.1826\simple-acme\2.3.0.1826\tools\net8.0\any
To verify that the plugin is properly installed you can start the main executable
with ‑‑verbose and it will print information about found and loaded plugins at
start up. When the plugin is loaded, it manifests itself as extra menu choices and
command line parameters being made availalbe.
This plugin requires to you use the pluggable release of the main executable. It will not work on the smaller trimmed releases.
