To allocate DNS records such as A Record, PTR Record, and CNAME Record, it is mandatory to manually configure authoritative and reverse mapping zones in NIOS for the creation of these records. For more information, see /wiki/spaces/nios85draft/pages/26476927.

2 |
| Mandatory | Specifies the name of the virtual machine. |
3 |
| Mandatory | Specifies the address in |
4 |
| Mandatory | Specifies the zone under which the record has to be created. |
5 |

7 |
| Optional | Specifies the instance ID. |
8 |
| Mandatory | Specifies the unique identifier of a tenant in the cloud. Tenant ID is the name of the cloud provider with which you want to integrate. However, if there is no cloud provider, you can specify any dummy value. The tenant ID differentiates the cloud providers in NIOS. For more information, see Viewing All Tenants. |
