please return ChangeInfo.Id in response to awless create record

[lakamsani]

Hi, for this kind of command: awless create record type=A name=host.domain.com value=1.2.3.4 ttl=60 zone=Z12345 if you could return ChangeInfo.Id that would be helpful in scripts that want to do some actions later on using the new DNS name. I assume that command is using something like aws route53 change-resource-record-sets under the hood but definitely easier to use as we can simply supply the args on the command line instead of a json file.

The ChangeInfo.Id can be used for example check the status using aws route53 get-change --id <change-set-id> before doing other stuff with the new name.

This has been added to master and will be in next release. When you run a create command, for example, you have the id between []:

create record name=XXXXXX ttl=60 type=CNAME value=XXXX zone=/hostedzone/XXXX

Confirm? (y/n): y
[info]    Executed:
    OK  create record name=XXXXXX ttl=60 type=CNAME value=XXXX zone=/hostedzone/XXXXX   [/change/XXXXX]

[info]    Revert this template with `awless revert 01BBEJ74T0ZQ9HRHQF4BXXMEPK

Thank you very much. Is there a flag to skip the 'Confirm?' prompt?

Not yet but we intend to create one. It would be --force, -f mostly used on the awless run command. If you see other use cases let us know.

for awsless create and awless delete too especially for DNS records which are easy to recreate even if there is an 'oops' situation.

Yes of course.

I forgot of course to mention all the one-liners templates create, delete, .... (you can see them in the main menu under One-liner Template Commands:). So basically to sum up all operations involving resources creation, update, delete.
