DNS integration
This page serves as a guide for how to use the DNS integration functionality of the Networking service. The functionality described covers DNS from two points of view:
- The internal DNS functionality offered by the Networking service and its interaction with the Compute service.
- Integration of the Compute service and the Networking service with an external DNSaaS (DNS-as-a-Service).
Users can control the behavior of the Networking service in regards to DNS using two attributes associated with ports, networks, and floating IPs. The following table shows the attributes available for each one of these resources:
Resource | dns_name | dns_domain |
---|---|---|
Ports | Yes | Yes |
Networks | No | Yes |
Floating IPs | Yes | Yes |
Note
The DNS Integration
extension enables all the attribute
and resource combinations shown in the previous table, except for
dns_domain
for ports, which requires the
dns_domain for ports
extension.
Note
Since the DNS Integration
extension is a subset of
dns_domain for ports
, if dns_domain
functionality for ports is required, only the latter extension has to be
configured.
Note
When the dns_domain for ports
extension is configured,
DNS Integration
is also included when the Neutron server
responds to a request to list the active API extensions. This preserves
backwards API compatibility.
The Networking service internal DNS resolution
The Networking service enables users to control the name assigned to ports by the internal DNS. To enable this functionality, do the following:
Edit the
/etc/neutron/neutron.conf
file and assign a value different toopenstacklocal
(its default value) to thedns_domain
parameter in the[default]
section. As an example:dns_domain = example.org.
Add
dns
(for theDNS Integration
extension) ordns_domain_ports
(for thedns_domain for ports
extension) toextension_drivers
in the[ml2]
section of/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini
. The following is an example:[ml2] extension_drivers = port_security,dns_domain_ports
After re-starting the neutron-server
, users will be able
to assign a dns_name
attribute to their ports.
Note
The enablement of this functionality is prerequisite for the
enablement of the Networking service integration with an external DNS
service, which is described in detail in config-dns-int-ext-serv
.
The following illustrates the creation of a port with
my-port
in its dns_name
attribute.
Note
The name assigned to the port by the Networking service internal DNS
is now visible in the response in the dns_assignment
attribute.
$ neutron port-create my-net --dns-name my-port

When this functionality is enabled, it is leveraged by the Compute
service when creating instances. When allocating ports for an instance
during boot, the Compute service populates the dns_name
attributes of these ports with the hostname
attribute of
the instance, which is a DNS sanitized version of its display name. As a
consequence, at the end of the boot process, the allocated ports will be
known in the dnsmasq associated to their networks by their instance
hostname
.
The following is an example of an instance creation, showing how its
hostname
populates the dns_name
attribute of
the allocated port:
$ openstack server create --image cirros --flavor 42 \
--nic net-id=37aaff3a-6047-45ac-bf4f-a825e56fd2b3 my_vm

In the above example notice that:
- The name given to the instance by the user,
my_vm
, is sanitized by the Compute service and becomesmy-vm
as the port'sdns_name
. - The port's
dns_assignment
attribute shows that its FQDN ismy-vm.example.org.
in the Networking service internal DNS, which is the result of concatenating the port'sdns_name
with the value configured in thedns_domain
parameter inneutron.conf
, as explained previously. - The
dns_assignment
attribute also shows that the port'shostname
in the Networking service internal DNS ismy-vm
. - Instead of having the Compute service create the port for the
instance, the user might have created it and assigned a value to its
dns_name
attribute. In this case, the value assigned to thedns_name
attribute must be equal to the value that Compute service will assign to the instance'shostname
, in this examplemy-vm
. Otherwise, the instance boot will fail.
