Creating a Private DNS Zone

• Console
• CLI
• API

• 1. Open the navigation menu  and select Networking. Under DNS management, select Zones.
  2. On the Private zones tab, select Create zone.
  3. Enter the zone information.
     • Zone type: Select Primary.
     • Zone name: Enter a domain name for the zone. Avoid entering confidential information.
     • Create in compartment: Specify the compartment to create the zone in. Be sure you have permission to work in the compartment.
     • DNS private view: Select an existing private view from the list, or create a new one and enter a descriptive name for it. Avoid entering confidential information.
  4. (Optional) Select Show Advanced Options: to apply tags for the zone.
     If you have permissions to create a resource, then you also have permissions to apply free-form tags to that resource. To apply a defined tag, you must have permissions to use the tag namespace. For more information about tagging, see Resource Tags. If you're not sure whether to apply tags, skip this option or ask an administrator. You can apply tags later.
  5. Select Create.

     The zone is created and published with the necessary SOA and NS records, and its details page is displayed. You can view the private view associated with this zone by select the name of the private view on the Zone information tab.

     Next, you can add records to the zone.

• Use the zone create command and required parameters to create a private zone. Specify the scope as PRIVATE.
