Vanity DNS ​

Yellowbrick does not manage DNS records on your behalf; after installation with the Deployer web application, you'll note that an IP address is used to access Yellowbrick Manager.

It's a best practice to configure DNS for your instance and this document explains how. You'll need to be familiar with basic DNS administration in order to do so.

It's likely that you are deploying Yellowbrick 7.x into a separate account/project/subscription from where your DNS zone is hosted. This setup is assuming you are using DNS delegation. In other words, you host your root DNS zone (e.g. mydomain.com) in a separate account and have the child zone's (e.g. subdomain.mydomain.com) NS records configured into it. This child zone will be in the same resource group / project / account as your Yellowbrick install.

For example, let's say you have account A that hosts mydomain.com. Account B, the account that you deployed Yellowbrick into, will host your child DNS zone (subdomain.mydomain.com).

If you don't have a root zone or domain setup, you will need to set one up. We recommend setting up a separate, dedicated account/subscription/project for your root zone.

If you are hosting your DNS zone outside of a cloud platform, such as GoDaddy, you will need to add your child zone's NS records there instead.
