What is this?

DNS maps names to addresses; cloud DNS (Route 53, Azure DNS) integrates with health checks and policies.

Why should you care?

CloudVerse users hit api.cloudverse.io — not raw IPs.

See it live — copy this example

Use AWS/Azure/GCP free tier or local Docker/Kind. Sketches and YAML are meant to be typed and adapted.

# records
# api.cloudverse.io  →  ALIAS/A to load balancer
# TTL low during cutover; higher when stable
# Health-check failover to DR region optional

What happened?

Separate public and private zones when needed.
Test TTL before big cutovers.

Practice next

Create a public zone in lab.
Point a name to LB IP/alias.
dig/nslookup the record.
Lower TTL before cutover.
Add a weighted record experiment.

Remember

Names → LB. TTL strategy. Private zones for internal.

CloudVerse api DNS

api.cloudverse.io → LB.

Outcome: Cutover without teaching users new IPs.
