Use Case: Infrastructure Automation

The Challenge

Managing DNS records across multiple domains and regions manually is error-prone and time-consuming. Organizations struggle with:

  • Manual DNS record updates causing deployment delays
  • DNS propagation delays and inconsistencies across regions
  • Lack of visibility into DNS configuration changes
  • Difficulty implementing DNS-based failover and load balancing

Global DNS Network

Query from multiple geographical locations

Complete Record Support

All DNS record types including A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, SOA

Real-time Monitoring

Track DNS propagation and configuration changes

Developer-Friendly

RESTful API with comprehensive SDKs and documentation

Implementation Example

// Automated DNS record update for deployment
const updateDNSForDeployment = async (serviceName, newIp) => {
  try {
    // Update A record
    const aRecord = await opsTools.dns.update({
      domain: 'api.example.com',
      type: 'A',
      value: newIp,
      ttl: 300
    });

    // Wait for propagation
    await waitForDNSPropagation('api.example.com', newIp);

    // Update CNAME if needed
    await opsTools.dns.update({
      domain: 'www.example.com',
      type: 'CNAME',
      value: 'api.example.com'
    });

    console.log('DNS updated successfully');
    return aRecord;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('DNS update failed:', error);
    throw error;
  }
};

// Monitor DNS propagation
const waitForDNSPropagation = async (domain, expectedValue) => {
  const locations = ['us-east', 'us-west', 'eu-west', 'asia-pacific'];

  for (const location of locations) {
    const result = await opsTools.dns.query({
      domain: domain,
      type: 'A',
      location: location
    });

    if (result.value !== expectedValue) {
      throw new Error(`DNS not propagated in ${location}`);
    }
  }
};
