New in Cloud Discovery & Visibility v25.3, users can configure how parent zones are affected when deleting tagged child zones on the Tagged resources tab.

If the Delete empty parent zones setting is disabled (default):

  • Scheduled Discovery: When a zone is deleted from the cloud, CD&V tags the zone for deletion. It will appear under the Tagged resources tab. Deleting it from this tab removes only that specific zone in Address Manager, without affecting any associated parent zones.

  • Visibility: When a zone is deleted from the cloud, CD&V deletes its associated resource records and removes the deleted zone itself.

If the Delete empty parent zones setting is enabled:

  • For both Scheduled Discovery and Visibility: When a zone is deleted from the cloud, CD&V deletes its associated resource records first, then tags the zone for deletion. It will appear under the Tagged resources tab. Deleting it from this tab will also remove its associated parent zones, provided the parent zone(s) meet all of the following criteria:
    • The parent zone does not contain any other child zones.
    • The parent zone does not contain any resource records.
    • The parent zone is not deployable.
    If any zone does not meet these criteria, the deletion process stops at that level.

To configure the parent zone deletion setting:

  • In the Address Manager UI, select CD&V in the sidebar.

  • Select the Settings tab.

  • On the Delete empty parent zones panel, toggle the switch to enable or disable parent zone deletion.
