Get an External DNS ID for a Public Namespace Configuration

The public service API specification in a global namespace manifest file requires an external DNS ID. You can get an external DNS ID by making a call to the appropriate API in Tanzu Service Mesh.

Prerequisites

• Access the Tanzu Service Mesh Console.

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

• Create an DNS provider integration account and create a DNS account in Tanzu Service Mesh.

Procedure

1. In Tanzu Service Mesh SaaS UI, click API Explorer on the bottom bar.
2. In API Explorer, click /GET v1alpha1/external-domain-name-server-list.
3. Click Try It Out and then click Execute.

   Response body under Responses contains a list of defined external DNS IDs returned by the API.

4. Copy the appropriate external DNS ID.
   Tip:

   To verify that this DNS ID is the one you need, make a call to GET v1alpha1/external-domain-name-servers/{external DNS ID}.

   The API returns the configuration details for the external DNS ID.

What to do next
