DCD How-Tos

The DCD lets you manage DNS zones and records via the graphical user interface.

Prerequisites:

• A domain name is necessary to use the Cloud DNS. If you do not have one already, get a domain name and register it with a domain registrar.

• 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.
