Hi,
the is loads of missing features from the AWS dashboard which would be amazing to include!
they don't all necessarily have to have EDIT features, but just simply listing them would be very helpful!
for instance: a few of our EC2s dont have elastic ips (your limtied by default to only 5 ips per region)
so when they shutdown and start up, the machines run scripts to update a dns entry in route 53,
but being able to verify it has updated at a glance would be amazing!
BOTH MAC AND WINDOWS SHOULD HAVE THESE FEATURES!

Simon
Hello Simon,
Thanks for the ideas. We'll have to see how we can achieve this with the AWS API. I've opened an internal ticket (and also notified our Mac team 😉).
So we can implement this in a way that works for you, would it be possible for you to describe where you would like to see this information? A separate window, a column in the dashboard, etc? I'm not extremely familiar with AWS, so maybe seeing an example of how you'd like to see it within RDM would help.

Hi Hubert,
i was just thinking like how you already have it currently
so extra options in the treeview list (ec2, security groups, etc)
then once selected, list them like you do currently with ec2, in a list view
something basic but very helpful!

Simon
Thanks Simon, we'll see what looks best for this information.

Hello,
We are currently working on these additions and would like a small clarification. When you say "Route 53", is there a feature related to that in the EC2 console, or do you mean having the Route 53 console entirely ? If it's the latter, what information in the route 53 console would be useful to have in RDM for you ?

Hello,
We went ahead and added Volumes, Snapshots, Elastic IPs, as well as a big part of the Route 53 console. We left out some of the features in the Route 53 console because we didn't have the setup to test them properly, so please tell us if there's anything missing that you'd like to have in RDM and we'll see what we can do.
These changes will be included in version 2021.1.22.0.

Hi Jonathan
thats brilliant, look forward to testing!
another quick note, im guessing these features are windows only? and mac features are in the works?
i just realized i posted this request in windows, but in fact im a mac user :(

Hi Simon,
We already have a dev working on this, this should be available in a coming version.

Hi Jonathan/Xavier
forgive this long delay in messaging, ive only just got around to trying the new feature out!
1 BIG feature thats missing is actually in the route 53 panel,
it lists my 3 domains as expected, but how the hell do i view my actually dns records?
its great seeing the 3 domains i have, but its more important to see my dns records,
to check if any EC2 instances, stopped and then started again and updated the DNS records automatically
Regards
Simon
Hi Simon,
Would you mind telling us exactly what section(s) of the web console you'd like for us to add in RDM ? We're not 100% familiar with the AWS console, and we'd like to implement exactly what you're looking for.
Thanks!

HI Jonathan,
im looking to be able to see my DNS records,
currently it only shows my Domain names in a list, thats it?
helpful links
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/APIReference/API_GetHostedZone.html - return information about the domain (not the records itself)
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/APIReference/API_ListResourceRecordSets.html - return list of my DNS records for that domain
