How to create a DNS

You can create a Domain Name Service so that users can access your compute via the domain name instead of a floating IP address.

1. Steps​

  1. Connect a Compute to the Public network.
  2. Put the component DNSEndpoint on the Compute.
  3. Input myexample.com in the dns_name field of the DNSEndpoint.

Fig. DNS Endpoint

2. Expect result​

  1. One DNS public zone myexample.com. with 2 record sets type A myexample.com. and www.myexample.com. will be created on Open Telekom Cloud.
  2. The record sets point to the floating IP of the public compute, which hosts the DNSEndpoint component (e.g., 80.158.62.203).

3. Test​

  1. Update your domain name at the registration service to the nameservers of Open Telekom Cloud: ns1.open-telekom-cloud.com and ns2.open-telekom-cloud.com.
  2. Test your domain is resolved to the floating IP:
$ dig myexample.com
...

;; ANSWER SECTION:
myexample.com.      300 IN  A   80.158.62.203

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
myexample.com..     172800  IN  NS  ns1.open-telekom-cloud.com.
myexample.com..     172800  IN  NS  ns2.open-telekom-cloud.com.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns2.open-telekom-cloud.com. 300 IN  A   93.188.242.252
ns1.open-telekom-cloud.com. 300 IN  A   80.158.48.19
note
  • The DNS zone takes effect only after you update the nameservers of your domain at the domain registrar to: ns1.open-telekom-cloud.com and ns2.open-telekom-cloud.com
