Private and public DNS zones created in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) are DNS resources provided by GCP.

CDV also imports DNS resource records within the zone:

  • Private DNS zones support the following DNS resource records types: A, AAAA, CAA, CNAME, MX, NAPTR, NS, PTR, SOA, SPF, SRV, SSHFP, TLSA, and TXT.

  • Public DNS zones support the following DNS resource records types: A, AAAA, CAA, CNAME, DS, IPSECKEY, MX, NAPTR, NS, PTR, SOA, SPF, SRV, SSHFP, TLSA, and TXT.

Note: If an IP address is associated with an A or AAAA record and the IP address exists within an imported VPC network from GCP, CDV creates a Host record in Address Manager. If the IP address does not exist within an imported VPC network, CDV creates a Generic record in Address Manager.

Private DNS zones

The following example illustrates a private DNS zone created in GCP with a set of resource records configured within the zone.



Private DNS zones that are not associated with any VPC networks in the GCP network are imported under a separate configuration in Address Manager with the following name depending on the selected Configuration mode:

  • Default mode: <Project name>/<GCP Public DNS Zone> (Not Used)

  • Combined mode: <Configuration name>/<Project name>/<GCP Public DNS Zone> (Not Used)

  • Custom mode: <Configuration name>/<Project name>/<GCP Public DNS Zone> (Not Used)

The following example illustrates DNS resource record data imported into Address Manager from this zone.



Multiple DNS zones

When CDV imports private and public DNS zones into Address Manager, each DNS zone is generated under a corresponding View within the specified configuration. The following example illustrates multiple DNS zones imported into Address Manager.



Public DNS zone

All GCP public DNS zones will be imported into the general configuration in Address Manager.
