Allocate host names and IP addresses to all external services required by Cloud Foundation.

Allocate host names and IP addresses to the following components and configure DNS with an FQDN that maps to the IP address where defined:
Component Requires DNS Configuration
NTP Yes
Active Directory Yes

The following table provides an example of the information to be collected for the external services. This example uses a fictional DNS domain called rainpole.local for illustration purposes. Modify the sample information to conform to your site's configuration.
