What Oracle Cloud Infrastructure DNS is

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure DNS manages DNS zones and records, handling domain queries through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s edge network. It supports publicly reachable zones and private hostname resolution for applications within or between virtual cloud networks, along with primary authoritative and secondary zones for redundancy. Traffic Management can steer public queries according to endpoint health, location, ASN, or originating IP prefix. Policies can use equal or custom weights and return secondary answers when a primary answer is unhealthy. The service is accessible through the browser-based Console, REST API, OCI CLI, and OCI SDKs, with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure IAM controlling authentication and authorization. DNSSEC cryptographically authenticates lookup responses on public zones, but does not encrypt responses and is not supported on private zones. OCI DNS requires a paid OCI account under a pay-as-you-go or Universal Credits contract; there is no free plan. The listed rate is $1.11401 per 1,000,000 queries. Limits include 1,000 zones per account, 25,000 records per zone, and 1 MB per zone file. Public DNS zones are supported only in the OC1 commercial realm.
