Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) are a type of DNS records that allows the owner of a domain to restrict which Certificate Authority (CA) can emit a certificate for the domain. This is a protection mechanism that is easy to setup and that has absolutely no drawbacks.
-One good reason to use CAA records in our modern world of servers running in the cloud is that when you decomission or change a server you very often lose access to its IP address and get a new one. If you mess up cleaning the old IP address from your DNS records and have no CAA records, someone who grabs it could then start issuing certificates for your domain.

## Caveat
-Note that some DNS providers that offer hosting services will sometimes provision invisible CAA records on your behalf and it might not be obvious this is happening. For example if your domain is hosted on cloudflare and you use their `pages` service, they will add CAA records to issue their certificates. You will be able to see these records using your lookup tool, but not if you look at your cloudflare dashboard.

-The following code examples will first feature a standard version (suitable for AWS, GCP and other providers), and one for cloudflare. Cloudflare records are built different than other providers I know of because the Cloudflare terraform provider does some validation by itself while others simply rely on their APIs. Another important difference is that terraform resources use a list of records as input, while cloudflare forces you to create one resource per value you need for a record. Yes this will clutter your terraform states!
