Akamai edgedns supersedes FastDNS; implementing a DNS provider for solving the DNS-01 challenge using Akamai EdgeDNS



<!--more-->

- Code: `edgedns`

Here is an example bash command using the Akamai EdgeDNS provider:

```bash
AKAMAI_CLIENT_SECRET=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890ABCDEFG= \
AKAMAI_CLIENT_TOKEN=akab-mnbvcxzlkjhgfdsapoiuytrewq1234567 \
AKAMAI_HOST=akab-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.luna.akamaiapis.net \
AKAMAI_ACCESS_TOKEN=akab-1234567890qwerty-asdfghjklzxcvtnu \
lego --domains="example.zone" --email="testuser@mail.me" --dns="edgedns" -a run
```




## Credentials

|-----------------------|-------------|
| `AKAMAI_ACCESS_TOKEN` | Access token |
| `AKAMAI_CLIENT_SECRET` | Client secret |
| `AKAMAI_CLIENT_TOKEN` | Client token |
| `AKAMAI_HOST` | API host |

The environment variable names can be suffixed by `_FILE` to reference a file instead of a value.
