A CNAME record maps one domain name to another (canonical) one. The infoblox_cname_record resource allows managing such domain name mappings in a NIOS server for CNAME records.
The following table describes the parameters you can define in the infoblox_cname_record resource block:
Parameter | Required/optional | Description | Example Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Required | Specifies the alias name in the FQDN format. |
|
| Required | Specifies the canonical name in the FQDN format. |
|
| Optional | Specifies the time to live value for the CNAME record. There is no default value for this parameter. If you do not specify a value, the TTL value is inherited from Grid DNS properties. A TTL value of 0 (zero) means caching should be disabled for this record. |
|
| Optional | Specifies the DNS view in which the zone exists. If a value is not specified, the default DNS view is considered. |
|
comment | Optional | Describes the CNAME record. | an example CNAME record |
ext_attrs | Optional | Specifies the set of NIOS extensible attributes that are attached to the CNAME record. | jsonencode({}) |
