Creating a Public DNS Zone
On Compute Cloud@Customer, DNS zones are created in a compartment to associate IP addresses with portions of the DNS namespace. Zones are created in a compartment using the DNS service.
After a public DNS zone is created, you can add resource tags. You can also edit the
externalMasters field of a SECONDARY zone.
Avoid entering confidential information in names and tags.
-
In the Compute Cloud@Customer Console navigation menu, click DNS, then click Zones.
-
Click Create Zone.
-
Enter the required zone information:
-
Zone Name: Provide a name or description for the DNS zone.
-
Compartment: Select the compartment in which to create the DNS zone.
-
Zone Type: Choose the type of DNS zone you are creating.
-
Primary: A primary DNS zone is the original authoritative DNS zone of a portion of the DNS namespace. When a DNS server hosts a primary zone, that DNS server is the Authoritative DNS Server and is considered the primary source of information in that zone.
-
Secondary: A secondary DNS zone is a read-only copy of a primary DNS zone or another secondary DNS zone. A secondary DNS zone is kept on a Secondary DNS Server and reduces the load on the primary DNS zone and eliminated a single point of failure risk to name resolution inside the zone.
-
-
Tagging: (Optional) Add one or more tags to this resource. Tags can also be applied later. For more information about tagging resources, see Resource Tags.
-
-
Click Create Zone.
The zone is now ready for the addition of zone records or for the configuration of TSIG Keys or Steering Policies. See Zone Records, Transaction Signature (TSIG) Keys, and Managing Traffic with Steering Policies.
