Multi-Cloud DNS Management
Monitor DNS consistency across hybrid cloud environments
Managing DNS across multiple cloud providers introduces complexity and risk. EdgeDNS provides unified visibility into DNS configuration and propagation across your entire infrastructure.
The Challenge
Organizations using multi-cloud or hybrid cloud architectures struggle with DNS visibility. Different DNS providers have different interfaces, propagation times vary, and inconsistencies between providers can cause outages. Troubleshooting DNS issues across clouds is time-consuming.
The Solution
Use EdgeDNS to monitor DNS configuration and propagation across all your cloud providers from a single API. Compare nameserver configurations, track propagation status, and detect inconsistencies before they impact users.
Endpoints Used
Combine these EdgeDNS endpoints to build this solution.
/v1/dns/propagationTry in PlaygroundDNS Propagation: Check record consistency across global resolvers
/v1/dns/nsTry in PlaygroundNameservers: Verify nameserver configuration
/v1/domain/dns-providerTry in PlaygroundDNS Provider: Identify which DNS provider is authoritative
/v1/dns/lookupTry in PlaygroundDNS Lookup: Query specific DNS records across regions
/v1/domain/response-timeTry in PlaygroundResponse Time: Measure DNS resolution performance
Results You Can Achieve
Unified DNS visibility
Single view across all cloud providers
Faster incident response
Quickly identify which provider has inconsistent records
Proactive monitoring
Detect propagation issues before users report problems
Code Example
Monitor multi-cloud DNS consistency
async function checkMultiCloudDNS(domains) {
const headers = { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' };
const results = [];
for (const domain of domains) {
const [propagation, ns, provider] = await Promise.all([
fetch(`https://api.edgedns.dev/v1/dns/propagation?domain=${domain}&type=A`, { headers }),
fetch(`https://api.edgedns.dev/v1/dns/ns?domain=${domain}`, { headers }),
fetch(`https://api.edgedns.dev/v1/domain/dns-provider?domain=${domain}`, { headers }),
].map(p => p.then(r => r.json())));
results.push({
domain,
dnsProvider: provider.data.provider,
nameservers: ns.data.nameservers,
propagationStatus: propagation.data.propagation_status,
consistency: propagation.data.consistency.percentage,
inconsistentResolvers: propagation.data.inconsistent_resolvers || []
});
}
// Alert on inconsistencies
const issues = results.filter(r => r.consistency < 100);
if (issues.length > 0) {
console.warn('DNS inconsistencies detected:', issues);
}
return results;
