DNS name for an Oracle Cloud public IP

Azure IP Configuration

I cannot figure out how to provide a DNS name to an IP address in Oracle cloud. Did not find a documentation. Went through the portal settings and some CLI documentation around networking. But did not find any.

It is quite straightforward in Azure. As the above screenshot shows.

Can anyone point me in right direction?

Solution

  • The hostname you provide at instance creation along with the subnet domain name becomes the instance's fully qualified domain name (FQDN). You can find more details in this chapter of the documentation: DNS in Your Virtual Cloud Network

    In case of the Load Balancer's public IP, you can associate the public IP address with a friendly DNS name through any DNS vendor. You may also create and manage your DNS Zones within OCI Domain Name System, but you still need to register your domain name at a 3rd party DNS vendor. For more details on OCI DNS service, please see the DNS Service documentation.
