What is the "awlessid" when listing route53 records?

[deinspanjer]

Is there any way to use it as a reference or short cut so you don't have to specify every parameter (name type record ttl zone) when you are trying to delete a record?

That's a very good suggestion that we will implement! At first, awlessId was created in records because there was no ID of record in AWS API (and we need one ID in awless). But, for now, you can only use it with awless show awls-1a1b102. But a nice extension is to use it also in templates. We will try to implement that for next release, stay tuned.

This has been implemented in 633d5527840c265cb39b1cb8a178dc4837fa0466.

You can now delete a record with

• awless delete record id=awls-1234beef or
• awless delete record id=@my.sub.domain.com

by building latest awless with go get or waiting next release)
