» google_dns_managed_zone

A zone is a subtree of the DNS namespace under one administrative responsibility. A ManagedZone is a resource that represents a DNS zone hosted by the Cloud DNS service.

To get more information about ManagedZone, see:

» Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • dns_name - (Required) The DNS name of this managed zone, for instance "example.com.".

  • name - (Required) User assigned name for this resource. Must be unique within the project.


  • description - (Optional) A textual description field. Defaults to 'Managed by Terraform'.

  • labels - (Optional) A set of key/value label pairs to assign to this ManagedZone.

  • visibility - (Optional) The zone's visibility: public zones are exposed to the Internet, while private zones are visible only to Virtual Private Cloud resources. Must be one of: public, private.

  • private_visibility_config - (Optional) For privately visible zones, the set of Virtual Private Cloud resources that the zone is visible from. Structure is documented below.

  • project - (Optional) The ID of the project in which the resource belongs. If it is not provided, the provider project is used.

The private_visibility_config block supports:

  • networks - (Optional) The list of VPC networks that can see this zone. Until the provider updates to use the Terraform 0.12 SDK in a future release, you may experience issues with this resource while updating. If you've defined a networks block and add another networks block while keeping the old block, Terraform will see an incorrect diff and apply an incorrect update to the resource. If you encounter this issue, remove all networks blocks in an update and then apply another update adding all of them back simultaneously. Structure is documented below.

The networks block supports:

  • network_url - (Optional) The fully qualified URL of the VPC network to bind to. This should be formatted like https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/{project}/global/networks/{network}

» Attributes Reference

In addition to the arguments listed above, the following computed attributes are exported:

  • name_servers - Delegate your managed_zone to these virtual name servers; defined by the server

» Timeouts

This resource provides the following Timeouts configuration options:

  • create - Default is 4 minutes.
  • update - Default is 4 minutes.
  • delete - Default is 4 minutes.
