Hello, Community. Several days ago I wrote about small service that automatically creates service domain names for CloudStack VMs created. Just would like to publish small updates which may be interesting to you.
1. The code was updated to use mysql.connector instead for MySqlDb (thanks to Wido Den Hollander) 2. I have implemented domains support defined for CloudStack accounts, before - only domain-level DNS suffixes were supported, so, now every account can have separate DNS zone if it's defined. 3. I have implemented group-based domain names. They may be very beneficial to those, who create fault-tolerant scalable services with CDNs like CloudFlare. Now, all VMs created in a single CloudStack group are placed into a single "group-based" FQDN, so DNS can return multiple A/AAAA records for a single name. Using this FQDN as CNAME in CloudFlare enables automatic failover, scalability support without efforts. Just create new VM in the same group e.g. www and it just works. Want scale down, remove excessive VMs. Find more details in Project's README.md Project Github: https://github.com/bwsw/cs-powerdns-integration Best wishes, Ivan 2018-08-24 1:42 GMT+07:00 Wido den Hollander <w...@widodh.nl>: > On 08/21/2018 07:45 AM, Ivan Kudryavtsev wrote: > > Hello, users, devs. > > > > We developed a small service for the creation of DNS records (A, AAAA, > PTR) > > in the PowerDNS and published it in the GitHub: > > > > https://github.com/bwsw/cs-powerdns-integration > > > > That seems very nice.
