How-to guides
This explains what to check before creating a DNS service through the Samsung Cloud Platform Console.
Before Using Private Domain Name Management
Verify the following before using Private Domain Name management.
- To manage Private domain names for use only in specified network environments without exposing to the internet, you must first create a Private DNS.
- The defined Private DNS name is used commonly across all regions within the Account. It can be created initially in any region within the Account, and thereafter in other regions, you activate and use it with the same Private DNS name from the Private DNS list.
- You can selectively set VPCs to connect to Private DNS per region. There are no connected VPCs at the time of initial creation or activation.
- The Private DNS name may already be in use within Samsung Cloud Platform, and you can check whether it is in use through duplicate checking when entering the domain name.
- Hosted Zone information will be shared across all regions. However, some detailed information (SRN, creator, modifier information) can only be verified in the region where it was initially created.
A general usage example is as follows. For detailed usage instructions, refer to the How-to guides of the corresponding sub-service.
| Step | Sub-service | Main Procedure |
|---|
| STEP 1 | Private DNS | Create Private DNS (Region A) → Connect VPC within Region A → Activate Private DNS (Region B) → Connect VPC within Region B |
| STEP 2 | Hosted Zone | Create Private Hosted Zone → Register records |
| STEP 3 | - | View detailed information, modify, terminate |
Table. Private Domain Name Management General Usage Procedure
Before Using Public Domain Name Management
