Perform PUT Request for Non-Existing Records

If you have an infrastructure that uses public DNS records and manage it by defining the required state, you can use Cloud DNS as follows:

  1. Create a DNS Zone with Cloud DNS.

  2. Generate a UUID (v3, v4, and v5 supported) for your DNS record.

  3. Add to your infrastructure a PUT call for the desired record configuration with your UUID and assign it to the corresponding DNS zone ID.
