Scenarios

If you want to map one domain name to another, add a CNAME record set for the domain name.

For more details, see Record Set Types and Configuration Rules.

Constraints

  • You cannot create a CNAME record set with the same name and resolution line as an NS record set.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. In the service list, choose Network > Domain Name Service.

    The DNS console is displayed.

  3. In the navigation pane, choose Public Zones or Private Zones.

    The zone list is displayed.

  4. (Optional) If you have selected Private Zones, click on the upper left corner to select the region and project.
  5. Click the domain name.
  6. Click Add Record Set.

    The Add Record Set dialog box is displayed.
