DNS connections
To resolve FQDNs in Yandex Virtual Private Cloud networks, you normally need a cloud DNS resolver to handle DNS queries from cloud resources. The DNS resolver is only accessible from within virtual machines and cannot be used outside of VMs.
At the same time, you can use DNS connections to set up the integration of your corporate DNS services with internal DNS zones in Yandex Cloud. Currently, only one DNS connection type is supported: inbound DNS endpoints.
Note
To configure integration of corporate DNS servers with DNS servers in Yandex Cloud, your corporate network must be connected to the cloud network using Yandex Cloud Interconnect resources.
Inbound DNS connection
An incoming DNS connection is a special Yandex Cloud DNS resource created in the cloud network that allows you to use the cloud DNS resolver to resolve domain names in the cloud network and its subnets from outside the Yandex Cloud network. To do this, corporate DNS servers must send DNS queries addressed to Yandex Cloud internal DNS zones to the IP address of the incoming DNS connection.
To receive DNS queries, the incoming connection uses a private IP address reserved in any of the cloud network subnets.
Note
You can only create one inbound DNS connection per Virtual Private Cloud cloud network.
