Importing Weighted DNS records in google cloud dns


I'm facing challenge to import records from AWS route53 service to google cloud DNS. I felt Route53 has many features compare to google-cloud-dns .

First, I faced challenge with root alias record which I'm going to deal with CNAME by using www or www1 records . Now, I'm facing challenge to import Weighted dns records in google cloud dns. I dont see option to add different weights to DNS records in google cloud. Also, I have some records which are with weight 0 in route53. I think those will not get traffic as I read on route53 documentation. So I have to remove and add them when needed in clouddns rather than keeping with weight 0 Looking for suggestions to solve this problem without using load-balancer . Also, if someone got options to deal with root alias record in gcp clouddns please guide me.

thanks

thanks


Solution

  • The only Google Cloud DNS resource record that supports priority/weight is MX records. The AWS Route 53 features are vendor added which Google Cloud DNS does not support
