Silvano Buback created CLOUDSTACK-6998:
------------------------------------------
Summary: Integration with external DNS Provider (like Bind,
PowerDNS)
Key: CLOUDSTACK-6998
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6998
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: New Feature
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Components: Management Server
Affects Versions: 4.3.0
Reporter: Silvano Buback
Fix For: 4.5.0
When deploying Advanced Networks, Virtual Routers are used to isolate networks
and provide DNS service for all machines inside each network. While this
approach is better for keeping networks more secure and self-contained, it
imposes a challenge when machines need to translate names that belong to
machines from another network, i.e. machine in network A needs to find the IP
address of a machine in network B.
A common solution for this problem is to make sure the Virtual Router from
network B has its name translated from network A, but this does not scale to a
corporate network, where you need to translate domain names of every machine
from every network.
We tackled this problem by using a centralized DNS server, which is external to
all networks in Cloudstack. That way, every machine is registered in that
server and every other machine can translate its name by accessing that server
as well. This server can run any known enterprise DNS server, such as Bind or
PowerDNS, and provide its services through an external API.
This proposal includes both a DNS API to be run in a DNS server and a plugin
designed for integrating virtual machines and virtual networks in Cloudstack
with DNS API.
