Using the DNS Management Overview to Manage DNS Services
This topic describes the Overview page in the DNS Management section of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.
Manage DNS Services Section
The Manage DNS Services section provides you with details on Zones and Traffic Management steering policies and links to set them up.
Public DNS Zones hold the trusted DNS records that reside on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's nameservers. You can create public zones with publicly available domain names. Private DNS zones contain domain names that resolve DNS queries for private IP addresses within a VCN. You can create private zones to define a domain name for private address resolution.
Traffic Management steering policies help you guide traffic to endpoints based on various conditions, including endpoint health and the geographic origins of DNS requests.
Service Health and Documentation Section
The Service Health tile displays the availability status of all DNS zone management systems in the selected region, and you can easily navigate to the Console's Oracle Cloud Infrastructure status page to check the availability status of all Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services, by region.
The Documentation list provides quick access to information about DNS offerings.
