How-to guides
The user explains the items to verify before creating a DNS service through the Samsung Cloud Platform Console.
Preface before Using Private Domain Name Management
Before using Private Domain Name management, first verify the following items.
- To manage private domain names for use only within a designated network environment without exposing them to the internet, you must first create a Private DNS.
- The defined Private DNS name is used uniformly across all regions within the account. It can be initially created in any region within the account, and thereafter, in other regions, it is activated and used from the Private DNS list with the same Private DNS name.
- You can optionally configure the VPCs you want to connect to Private DNS for each region. When first created or activated, no VPC is connected.
- The Private DNS name may already be in use within the Samsung Cloud Platform, and you can verify its availability by performing a duplicate check when entering the domain name.
- Hosted Zone information is shared across all regions. However, some detailed information (SRN, creator, modifier information) can only be viewed in the region where it was originally created.
General usage examples are shown below. For detailed usage instructions, refer to the How-to guides of the respective subservice.
| Order | Subservice | Key procedures |
|---|
| STEP 1 | Private DNS | Create Private DNS (Region A) → Connect VPC in Region A → Activate Private DNS (Region B) → Connect VPC in Region B |
| STEP 2 | Hosted Zone | Create Private Hosted Zone → Register record |
| STEP 3 | - | View detailed information, edit, and cancel |
