Create a Zone

Create a Zone

In environments that include the DNS service, you can create a DNS Zone.

  1. Source the demo credentials to perform the following steps as a non-administrative project:

    $ . demo-openrc
    
  2. Create a DNS Zone called example.com.:

    $ openstack zone create --email dnsmaster@example.com example.com.
    +----------------+--------------------------------------+
    | Field          | Value                                |
    +----------------+--------------------------------------+
    | action         | CREATE                               |
    | attributes     | {}                                   |
    | created_at     | 2016-07-13T14:54:16.000000           |
    | description    | None                                 |
    | email          | dnsmaster@example.com                |
    | id             | 14093115-0f0f-497a-ac69-42235e46c26f |
    | masters        |                                      |
    | name           | example.com.                         |
    | pool_id        | 794ccc2c-d751-44fe-b57f-8894c9f5c842 |
    | project_id     | 656bc359067844fba6005d400f19df76     |
    | serial         | 1468421656                           |
    | status         | PENDING                              |
    | transferred_at | None                                 |
    | ttl            | 3600                                 |
    | type           | PRIMARY                              |
    | updated_at     | None                                 |
    | version        | 1                                    |
    +----------------+--------------------------------------+
    
  3. After a short time, verify successful creation of the DNS Zone:

    $ openstack zone list
    +--------------------------------------+--------------+---------+------------+--------+--------+
    | id                                   | name         | type    |     serial | status | action |
    +--------------------------------------+--------------+---------+------------+--------+--------+
    | 14093115-0f0f-497a-ac69-42235e46c26f | example.com. | PRIMARY | 1468421656 | ACTIVE | NONE   |
    +--------------------------------------+--------------+---------+------------+--------+--------+
    
  4. You can now create RecordSets in this DNS Zone:

    $ openstack recordset create --record '10.0.0.1' --type A example.com. www
    +-------------+--------------------------------------+
    | Field       | Value                                |
    +-------------+--------------------------------------+
    | action      | CREATE                               |
    | created_at  | 2016-07-13T14:59:32.000000           |
    | description | None                                 |
    | id          | 07e6f5af-783e-481f-b8df-5972a6174c94 |
    | name        | www.example.com.                     |
    | project_id  | 656bc359067844fba6005d400f19df76     |
    | records     | 10.0.0.1                             |
    | status      | PENDING                              |
    | ttl         | None                                 |
    | type        | A                                    |
    | updated_at  | None                                 |
    | version     | 1                                    |
    | zone_id     | 14093115-0f0f-497a-ac69-42235e46c26f |
    | zone_name   | example.com.                         |
    +-------------+--------------------------------------+
    
  5. Delete the DNS Zone:

    $ openstack zone delete example.com.
    +----------------+--------------------------------------+
    | Field          | Value                                |
    +----------------+--------------------------------------+
    | action         | DELETE                               |
    | attributes     |                                      |
    | created_at     | 2017-07-12T03:26:25.000000           |
    | description    | None                                 |

    | name           | example.com.                         |
