Changing DNS Zone Records

Change the records that contain domain information for a DNS zone. You can change various components of the records within zones, such as time-to-live (TTL) and relevant RDATA.

For example, the RDATA of an A or AAAA record contains an IP address for a domain name, while MX records contain information about the mail server for a domain. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure normalizes all RDATA into the most machine-readable format. The returned presentation of RDATA might differ from its initial input. For more information, see Records.
Note

  • Some records are protected and contain information that you can't change.
  • You can't manage records when a zone isn't active.
    • If the zone is updating, wait a few moments and try again.
    • If the zone is in a failed state, delete the zone and re-create it. Be sure the zone name is unique, and that there is no error in any zone file you might have used to create the zone.
