Awsdyndns is a dynamic dns tool that updates a Route53 hostname with the current public IP of the caller. The way I use awsdyndns is by installing it on a RaspberryPi and running the program on a 10 minute cron.
Public IP is obtained via ipify.
Download the latest release for your system, rename it to awsdyndns and put it into your path.

Setup your AWS_ACCESS_KEY and AWS_SECRET_KEY from AWS. Make sure that this account has permissions to the Route53 zone that you want to modify.
Once you have configured the AWS_ACCESS_KEY, and AWS_SECRET_KEY environment variables just run awsdyndns.
$ awsdyndns -d my.host.com. -z ZONEID // don't forget the trailing `.` on the hostname.
Updating dns
$ awsdyndns -h
Usage of awsdyndns:
-d, --dnshostname string Hostname on the zone id to update
