DCD How-Tos

With the DCD, you can manage primary and secondary zones and records via the graphical user interface.

Prerequisites:

• To use the Cloud DNS, you need a domain name. If you do not already have one, register it with a domain registrar. To connect your domain with Cloud DNS, see Connect Domain Name to Cloud DNS.

• By default, you must be an administrator or an owner to manage the Cloud DNS records and zones using the Cloud DNS API and the DCD. Other users need appropriate privileges to manage the records and zones.

Note: Advanced DNS management features like DNSSEC and Import/Export of zones is currently only supported via the Cloud DNS API.
