PowerDNS
This section covers integrating CMP with PowerDNS for DNS-as-a-Service.
Configuration Guides → Supported Features →
Getting Started
- Prerequisites — Review PowerDNS Requirements for API service, authoritative nameservers, and API key.
- Configuration — Connect CMP to PowerDNS and configure optional DNS domain pricing packages.
- Features — Manage customer DNS zones, record creation (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT), and PTR synchronization.
Domain purchase not supported today
CMP does not sell or register domain names. Customers can manage DNS records for domains they already own, using PowerDNS on your infrastructure.
Purchasing domains from CMP is on the roadmap for a future release.
Standalone DNS integration
PowerDNS works independently of compute orchestrators. Customers manage DNS domains through CMP while zones and records are stored on your PowerDNS backend.
Prerequisites
Complete PowerDNS Requirements before connecting — API endpoint, API key, web server port, and authoritative name servers.
