How-to guides
The user can enter the essential information of the DNS service through the Samsung Cloud Platform Console and create the service by selecting detailed options.
Private Domain Name management precautions before use
- To manage private domain names for use only in a specified network environment without exposing them to the internet, you must first create a Private DNS.
- The defined Private DNS name is commonly used in all regions within the account. It can be created for the first time in any region within the account, and then activated and used with the same Private DNS name in other regions from the Private DNS list.
- You can selectively set the VPC to be connected to Private DNS by region. There are no VPCs connected by default when first created or activated.
- Private DNS names may have been pre-used within Samsung Cloud Platform, and you can check their availability through duplicate checks when entering domain names.
- Hosted Zone information will be shared across all regions. However, some detailed information (SRN, creator, modifier information) can only be confirmed in the initial creation region.
General usage examples are as follows. For detailed usage instructions, please refer to the How-to guides of the corresponding sub-service.
| Order | Sub-service | Main Procedure |
|---|
| STEP 1 | Private DNS | Create Private DNS (A region) → Connect VPC within A region → Activate Private DNS (B region) → Connect VPC within B region |
| STEP 2 | Hosted Zone | Create Private Hosted Zone → Register records |
| STEP 3 | - | Detailed information inquiry, modification, cancellation |
