DNS integration with an external service¶
This page serves as a guide for how to use the DNS integration functionality of the Networking service with an external DNSaaS (DNS-as-a-Service).
As a prerequisite this needs the internal DNS functionality offered by the Networking service to be enabled, see DNS integration.
Configuring OpenStack Networking for integration with an external DNS service¶
The first step to configure the integration with an external DNS service is to
enable the functionality described in The Networking service internal DNS resolution.
Once this is done, the user has to take the following steps and restart
neutron-server.
Edit the
[default]section of/etc/neutron/neutron.confand specify the external DNS service driver to be used in parameterexternal_dns_driver. The valid options are defined in namespaceneutron.services.external_dns_drivers. The following example shows how to set up the driver for the OpenStack DNS service:external_dns_driver = designateIf the OpenStack DNS service is the target external DNS, the
[designate]section of/etc/neutron/neutron.confmust define the following parameters:url: the OpenStack DNS service public endpoint URL. Note that this must always be the versioned endpoint currently.auth_type: the authorization plugin to use. Usually this should bepassword, see https://docs.openstack.org/keystoneauth/latest/authentication-plugins.html for other options.auth_url: the Identity service authorization endpoint url. This endpoint will be used by the Networking service to authenticate as an user to create and update reverse lookup (PTR) zones.username: the username to be used by the Networking service to create and update reverse lookup (PTR) zones.password: the password of the user to be used by the Networking service to create and update reverse lookup (PTR) zones.project_name: the name of the project to be used by the Networking service to create and update reverse lookup (PTR) zones.project_domain_name: the name of the domain for the project to be used by the Networking service to create and update reverse lookup (PTR) zones.user_domain_name: the name of the domain for the user to be used by the Networking service to create and update reverse lookup (PTR) zones.region_name: the name of the region to be used by the Networking service to create and update reverse lookup (PTR) zones.allow_reverse_dns_lookup: a boolean value specifying whether to enable or not the creation of reverse lookup (PTR) records.ipv4_ptr_zone_prefix_size: the size in bits of the prefix for the IPv4 reverse lookup (PTR) zones.ipv6_ptr_zone_prefix_size: the size in bits of the prefix for the IPv6 reverse lookup (PTR) zones.ptr_zone_email: the email address to use when creating new reverse lookup (PTR) zones. The default isadmin@<dns_domain>where<dns_domain>is the domain for the first record being created in that zone.insecure: whether to disable SSL certificate validation. By default, certificates are validated.cafile: Path to a valid Certificate Authority (CA) certificate. Optional, the system CAs are used as default.
The following is an example:
[designate] url = http://192.0.2.240:9001/v2 auth_type = password auth_url = http://192.0.2.240:5000 username = neutron password = PASSWORD project_name = service project_domain_name = Default user_domain_name = Default allow_reverse_dns_lookup = True ipv4_ptr_zone_prefix_size = 24 ipv6_ptr_zone_prefix_size = 116 ptr_zone_email = admin@example.org cafile = /etc/ssl/certs/my_ca_cert
Once the neutron-server has been configured and restarted, users will have
functionality that covers three use cases, described in the following sections.
In each of the use cases described below:
The examples assume the OpenStack DNS service as the external DNS.
A, AAAA and PTR records will be created in the DNS service.
Before executing any of the use cases, the user must create in the DNS service under his project a DNS zone where the A and AAAA records will be created. For the description of the use cases below, it is assumed the zone
example.org.was created previously.The PTR records will be created in zones owned by the project specified for
project_nameabove.
Use case 1: Floating IPs are published with associated port DNS attributes¶
In this use case, the address of a floating IP is published in the external
DNS service in conjunction with the dns_name of its associated port and the
dns_domain of the port’s network. The steps to execute in this use case are
the following:
Assign a valid domain name to the network’s
dns_domainattribute. This name must end with a period (.).Boot an instance or alternatively, create a port specifying a valid value to its
dns_nameattribute. If the port is going to be used for an instance boot, the value assigned todns_namemust be equal to thehostnamethat the Compute service will assign to the instance. Otherwise, the boot will fail.Create a floating IP and associate it to the port.
Following is an example of these steps:
$ openstack network set --dns-domain example.org. 38c5e950-b450-4c30-83d4-ee181c28aad3
$ openstack network show 38c5e950-b450-4c30-83d4-ee181c28aad3

In this example, notice that the data is published in the DNS service when the floating IP is associated to the port.
Following are the PTR records created for this example. Note that for
IPv4, the value of ipv4_ptr_zone_prefix_size is 24. Also, since the zone
for the PTR records is created in the service project, you need to use
admin credentials in order to be able to view it.

Use case 2: Floating IPs are published in the external DNS service¶
In this use case, the user assigns dns_name and dns_domain attributes
to a floating IP when it is created. The floating IP data becomes visible in
the external DNS service as soon as it is created. The floating IP can be
associated with a port on creation or later on. The following example shows a
user booting an instance and then creating a floating IP associated to the port
allocated for the instance:

Note that in this use case:
The
dns_nameanddns_domainattributes of a floating IP must be specified together on creation. They cannot be assigned to the floating IP separately and they cannot be changed after the floating IP has been created.The
dns_nameanddns_domainof a floating IP have precedence, for purposes of being published in the external DNS service, over thedns_nameof its associated port and thedns_domainof the port’s network, whether they are specified or not. Only thedns_nameand thedns_domainof the floating IP are published in the external DNS service.
Following are the PTR records created for this example. Note that for
IPv4, the value of ipv4_ptr_zone_prefix_size is 24. Also, since the zone
for the PTR records is created in the service project, you need to use
admin credentials in order to be able to view it.

Use case 3: Ports are published directly in the external DNS service¶
In this case, the user is creating ports or booting instances on a network
that is accessible externally. If the user wants to publish a port in the
external DNS service in a zone specified by the dns_domain attribute of the
network, these are the steps to be taken:
Assign a valid domain name to the network’s
dns_domainattribute. This name must end with a period (.).Boot an instance specifying the externally accessible network. Alternatively, create a port on the externally accessible network specifying a valid value to its
dns_nameattribute. If the port is going to be used for an instance boot, the value assigned todns_namemust be equal to thehostnamethat the Compute service will assign to the instance. Otherwise, the boot will fail.
Once these steps are executed, the port’s DNS data will be published in the external DNS service. This is an example:

In this example the port is created manually by the user and then used to boot an instance. Notice that:
The port’s data was visible in the DNS service as soon as it was created.
See Performance considerations for an explanation of the potential performance impact associated with this use case.
Following are the PTR records created for this example. Note that for IPv4, the value of ipv4_ptr_zone_prefix_size is 24. In the case of IPv6, the value of ipv6_ptr_zone_prefix_size is 116.

Note
If both the port and its network have a valid non-blank string assigned to
their dns_domain attributes, the port’s dns_domain takes precedence
over the network’s.
Note
The name assigned to the port’s dns_domain attribute must end with a
period (.).
Note
In the above example, the port-domain.org. zone must be created before
Neutron can publish any port data to it.
Performance considerations¶
Only for Use case 3: Ports are published directly in the external DNS service, if the port binding extension is enabled in the Networking service, the Compute service will execute one additional port update operation when allocating the port for the instance during the boot process. This may have a noticeable adverse effect in the performance of the boot process that should be evaluated before adoption of this use case.
Configuration of the externally accessible network for use case 3¶
In Use case 3: Ports are published directly in the external DNS service, the externally accessible network must meet the following requirements:
The network may not have attribute
router:externalset toTrue.The network type can be FLAT, VLAN, GRE, VXLAN or GENEVE.
For network types VLAN, GRE, VXLAN or GENEVE, the segmentation ID must be outside the ranges assigned to project networks.
This usually implies that this use case only works for networks specifically created for this purpose by an admin, it does not work for networks which tenants can create.
