policy=sync override all pre-existing records in a TLD?

[paulpas]

I am using Route53 for a TLD which already is manually managed with hundreds of existing DNS records: foobar.com.

If I set policy=sync for the same hosted domain to add records, will it also delete all existing records in foobar.com until the records match what the EKS cluster requested?

Or will external-dns only add and delete records that it has created itself?

[szuecs]

If you let external-dns "tag" owned records by the txt registry --registry=txt then "sync" will only delete records that it owns. This allows manually created records and multiple external-dns work in the same zone.
