Get an External DNS ID for a Public Service Configuration

Creating a public service with the Tanzu Service Mesh CLI requires providing the ID of external DNS account among other configuration details.

You can get an external DNS account ID by retrieving a list of the IDs of all DNS accounts from Tanzu Service Mesh and then selecting the ID that you want.

Prerequisites

• Become familiar with the concept of external DNS name in Tanzu Service Mesh.

• Create an DNS provider integration account (AVI or AWS) in the Tanzu Service Mesh Console.

• Create an external DNS account in the Tanzu Service Mesh Console.

• Download and install the CLI.

• Log in to the Tanzu Service Mesh CLI.

Procedure

1. Retrieve a list of the IDs of all external DNS accounts from Tanzu Service Mesh:

   tanzu sm get externaldnss

2. Copy the DNS account ID that you want from the list in the output.
   Tip:

   To verify that this is the ID of the DNS account that you want to use, run this command:

   tanzu sm get externaldnss {DNS-account-ID}

   The output contains the details of the external DNS account. The name of the account and the other details should help you determine if this is the right DNS account.
