Create a Zone¶

In environments that include the DNS service, you can create a DNS Zone.

1. Source the demo credentials to perform the following steps as a non-administrative project:

   $ . demo-openrc
   

2. Create a DNS Zone called example.com.:

   $ openstack zone create --email dnsmaster@example.com example.com.
   +----------------+--------------------------------------+
   | Field          | Value                                |
   +----------------+--------------------------------------+
   | action         | CREATE                               |
   | attributes     | {}                                   |
   | created_at     | 2016-07-13T14:54:16.000000           |
   | description    | None                                 |
   | email          | dnsmaster@example.com                |
   | id             | 14093115-0f0f-497a-ac69-42235e46c26f |
   | masters        |                                      |
   | name           | example.com.                         |
   | pool_id        | 794ccc2c-d751-44fe-b57f-8894c9f5c842 |
   | project_id     | 656bc359067844fba6005d400f19df76     |
   | serial         | 1468421656                           |
   | status         | PENDING                              |
   | transferred_at | None                                 |
   | ttl            | 3600                                 |
   | type           | PRIMARY                              |
   | updated_at     | None                                 |
   | version        | 1                                    |
   +----------------+--------------------------------------+
   

3. After a short time, verify successful creation of the DNS Zone:

   $ openstack zone list
   +--------------------------------------+--------------+---------+------------+--------+--------+
   | id                                   | name         | type    |     serial | status | action |
   +--------------------------------------+--------------+---------+------------+--------+--------+
   | 14093115-0f0f-497a-ac69-42235e46c26f | example.com. | PRIMARY | 1468421656 | ACTIVE | NONE   |
   +--------------------------------------+--------------+---------+------------+--------+--------+
   

4. You can now create RecordSets in this DNS Zone:

   $ openstack recordset create --record '10.0.0.1' --type A example.com. www
   +-------------+--------------------------------------+
   | Field       | Value                                |
   +-------------+--------------------------------------+
   | action      | CREATE                               |
   | created_at  | 2016-07-13T14:59:32.000000           |
   | description | None                                 |
   | id          | 07e6f5af-783e-481f-b8df-5972a6174c94 |
   | name        | www.example.com.                     |
   | project_id  | 656bc359067844fba6005d400f19df76     |
   | records     | 10.0.0.1                             |
   | status      | PENDING                              |
   | ttl         | None                                 |
   | type        | A                                    |
   | updated_at  | None                                 |
   | version     | 1                                    |
   | zone_id     | 14093115-0f0f-497a-ac69-42235e46c26f |
   | zone_name   | example.com.                         |
   +-------------+--------------------------------------+
   

5. Delete the DNS Zone:

   $ openstack zone delete example.com.
   +----------------+--------------------------------------+
   | Field          | Value                                |
   +----------------+--------------------------------------+
   | action         | DELETE                               |
   | attributes     |                                      |
   | created_at     | 2017-07-12T03:26:25.000000           |

   | name           | example.com.                         |
   | pool_id        | 794ccc2c-d751-44fe-b57f-8894c9f5c842 |
   | project_id     | d53f80b5a22b4962a176935eea23f9c4     |

   | status         | PENDING                              |
   | transferred_at | None                                 |
