Google Cloud DNS

Google Cloud DNS is a scalable, reliable, and managed Domain Name System (DNS) service that runs on Google's infrastructure. It translates domain names (like example.com) into IP addresses (like 192.0.2.1) to route internet traffic efficiently. The service offers features such as low-latency responses, global availability, and integration with other Google Cloud services.

Also known as: GCP DNS, Google DNS, Cloud DNS, GCloud DNS, Google Cloud Domain Name System

Why learn Google Cloud DNS?

Developers should use Google Cloud DNS when building applications on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that require reliable DNS management, such as web hosting, microservices, or cloud-native deployments. It is particularly useful for scenarios needing high availability, automated DNS record updates via APIs, or seamless integration with services like Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Cloud Load Balancing.
