Are there that many people managing their dns by hand that they need this? Outside of various txt records, most of my domains are mapped to specific resources via automation.
But "automation" with this could legitimately (well, mostly) be based on a git repo with an s3files mount inside it. And a cron job, if you really want to get fancy.
This is... well it's mostly a joke. It's funny but you can indeed use and interact with DNS as a file store or have a file system based control over records.
Both DNS and S3 or any filesystem really... they're just key/value stores.
DNS also has considerably higher reliability and compatibility than almost anything else
At first I thought this was a general purpose file system over R53, ala Corey Quinn. But my, what a gorgeously terrible idea. Well done.
to be fair, it's also that just with some severe restrictions on filenames

Last job, we did for various control/audit reasons BUT it was all IaC and tickets.
I don't think this is there to satisfy "need".

Files which aren't DNS keys get ignored by Route 53 Files. So you could absolutely have a git checkout and update your DNS with 'git pull'.
There are apparently many people managing their S3 Objects by hand but long to have them in a file system, yes.
