Oracle DNS

Oracle DNS enables configuration and management of global DNS through the OCI console. It supports primary and secondary zones for internet-facing DNS and private DNS for internal workloads within VCNs. Users view all managed zones, import records, and create automatic HTTP or HTTPS redirects. The service distributes requests across regions based on destination, health, and source location. It integrates with OCI for setup, monitoring, identity management, zone and record creation, query reports, and DDoS protection. A global anycast network with over 300 locations handles resolution.

Core Strengths:

• Translates domain names into IP addresses reliably at global scale.
• Manages public DNS zones for web services.
• Handles private DNS resolution within OCI Virtual Cloud Networks (VCNs).
• Supports traffic steering and load balancing logic.
• Offers DNS metrics and monitoring via the OCI Console.
• Configures primary and secondary DNS zones for redundancy.

Use Cases:

• Public website hosting with DNS name resolution.
• Internal service discovery within cloud networks.
• Traffic load balancing across regions or servers.
• Hybrid cloud DNS resolution between on‑premises and cloud.
