Edge DNS resources

View in Terraform Registry

The Azion Terraform Provider manages Edge DNS with three resources and reads it with four data sources. A zone holds the records of a domain, and DNSSEC adds a layer of security to a zone. The identifiers keep the intelligent_dns form that the provider uses, and they have the same names in provider v1.x and v2.0. For more information, refer to Migrate from provider v1.x to v2.0.

Edge DNS resources

Resource	Description
`azion_intelligent_dns_zone`	Creates and manages a DNS zone.
`azion_intelligent_dns_record`	Creates and manages a DNS record.
`azion_intelligent_dns_dnssec`	Manages the DNSSEC settings of a zone.

Each resource takes its settings in one nested block: zone, record, or dnssec. The record and DNSSEC resources also take zone_id outside the block, and they read it from the id attribute of the zone resource.

Resource	Argument	Type	Required	Description
`azion_intelligent_dns_zone`	`zone.name`	String	Yes	The name that identifies the zone in lists. It is not the domain.
`azion_intelligent_dns_zone`	`zone.domain`	String	Yes	The domain that the zone serves, such as `example.com`.
`azion_intelligent_dns_zone`	`zone.active`	Boolean	Yes	Sets whether the zone answers queries for its domain.
`azion_intelligent_dns_record`	`zone_id`	String	Yes	The ID of the zone that holds the record.
`azion_intelligent_dns_record`	`record.name`	String	Yes	The name of the record, relative to the zone, such as `www`.
`azion_intelligent_dns_record`	`record.type`	String	Yes	The record type, such as `A`, `AAAA`, or `CNAME`.
`azion_intelligent_dns_record`	`record.rdata`	List of strings	Yes	One or more answers of the record.
`azion_intelligent_dns_record`	`record.policy`	String	Yes	`simple` answers with every value of the record. `weighted` lets several records share a name and type.
`azion_intelligent_dns_record`	`record.ttl`	Number	Yes	The time to live of the record, in seconds.
`azion_intelligent_dns_record`	`record.weight`	Number	No	The weight of the record. It applies only when `policy` is `weighted`.
`azion_intelligent_dns_record`	`record.description`	String	No	The description of the record, for either `policy`.
`azion_intelligent_dns_dnssec`	`zone_id`	String	Yes	The ID of the zone.
`azion_intelligent_dns_dnssec`	`dnssec.is_enabled`	Boolean	Yes	Sets whether DNSSEC is on for the zone.

A simple record takes description from provider 2.10.0. Versions 2.0.0 to 2.9.0 send description only for weighted records, so a simple record with a description fails on terraform apply. The provider stores an empty description as unset.

For every record type, refer to Record types. For the limits of each field, refer to Zones and records. The Terraform Registry page of each resource lists every argument.

Data sources

Data source	Description
`azion_intelligent_dns_zones`	Lists DNS zones.
`azion_intelligent_dns_zone`	Reads one DNS zone.
`azion_intelligent_dns_records`	Lists DNS records.
`azion_intelligent_dns_dnssec`	Reads the DNSSEC settings of a zone.

Example

This configuration pins provider 2.10.0 and creates a zone with an A record and a CNAME record. It turns on DNSSEC for the zone and outputs the zone ID. The A record carries a description, which a simple record takes from provider 2.10.0. The configuration reads your personal token from the api_token variable that the Azion Terraform Provider quickstart declares.
