Polystack DNS provides authoritative DNS management for your private cloud domains. Create zones, populate them with record sets, and manage reverse DNS for IP-to-hostname resolution. DNS records integrate with your compute and networking resources to support service discovery, email routing, and compliance requirements.Prerequisites
- An active Polystack account with appropriate permissions
- Access to the Polystack Dashboard or CLI configured with credentials
- API credentials sourced (
source openrc.sh)
