All features
All features
| Authoritative DNS lookup | Cloud DNS translates requests for domain names like www.google.com into IP addresses like 74.125.29.101. |
| Cloud IAM | Cloud Domains’ integration with Cloud IAM provides secure domains management with full control and visibility for domain resources. |
| Cloud Logging | Private DNS logs a record for every DNS query received from VMs and inbound forwarding flows within your networks. You can view DNS logs in Cloud Logging and export logs to any destination that Cloud Logging export supports. |
| DNS peering | DNS peering makes available a second method of sharing DNS data. All or a portion of the DNS namespace can be configured to be sent from one network to another and, once there, will respect all DNS configuration defined in the peered network. |
| DNS forwarding | If you have a hybrid-cloud architecture, DNS forwarding can help bridge your on-premises and Google Cloud DNS environments. This fully managed product lets you use your existing DNS servers as authoritative, and intelligent caching makes sure your queries are performed efficiently—all without third-party software or the need to use your own compute resources. |
| DNS registration and management | Cloud Domains allow customers to register and manage domains on Google Cloud and provide tight integration with Cloud DNS. |
| DNS security (DNSSEC) | DNSSEC protects your domains from spoofing and cache poisoning attacks. With Cloud Domains, you can enable or disable managed DNSSEC when you create a public zone. |
| Fast anycast name servers | Cloud DNS uses our global network of anycast name servers to serve your DNS zones from redundant locations around the world, providing high availability and lower latency for your users. |
| Private zones | Private DNS zones provide an easy-to-manage internal DNS solution for your private Google Cloud networks, eliminating the need to provision and manage additional software and resources. And since DNS queries for private zones are restricted to a private network, hostile agents can’t access your internal network information. |
| Zone and project management | Create managed zones for your project, then add, edit, and delete DNS records. You can control permissions at a project level and monitor your changes as they propagate to DNS name servers. |
| Container-native Cloud DNS | The native integration of Cloud DNS with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) provides in-cluster Service DNS resolution with Cloud DNS, enabling high-throughput, scalable DNS resolution for every GKE node. |
