New Cloud DNS Hosted Zone

This details the steps required to create a new hosted zone. An example would be you wanting to serve traffic to an A record of [appname].iamdev.s.uw.edu. A hosted zone is needed for iamdev.s.uw.edu before you can route traffic into GCP services.

Prerequisite

1. You have setup access to the IAM shared GCP project

2. You are using the iamshared profile.

   gcloud config configurations activate iamshared
   

3. Be the DNS admin of a UW subdomain yourdomain.uw.edu. This readme uses that domain as an example and will serve *.yourdomain.uw.edu if you like.

Setup Google Cloud DNS

This is only needed once per yourdomain.uw.edu or *.yourdomain.uw.edu that you want to network.

1. In these instructions use...

   1. [zonename] = the iamdev of iamdev.s.uw.edu for example
   2. [dnsname] = all of iamdev.s.uw.edu for example

2. Create the managed zone

   cloud dns managed-zones create [zonename] --dns-name="[dnsname]" --description="Describe the purpose for this zone"
   
   gcloud dns managed-zones list
   

3. Send the NS and SOA recrods in an email to [email protected] and ask them to update your records for [dnsname] to include the new GCloud NS and SOA records.

    gcloud dns record-sets list --zone="[zonename]"
