In continuation to previous post : Navigate to GCP console > Network Services > Cloud DNS, terraform automatically creates a zone by default with DNS name as <<envname>>.<<domainname>> (in my case it is captainv-pilot.captainvirtualization.in.)

For this demo, I am using my existing domain name – captainvirtualization.in, which I purchased from go daddy. If your domain name is not purchased in godaddy, you should be following a different approach based on your domain provider.

Create a new DNS zone in GCP console: Network Services > Cloud DNS zone > Fill in Name and DNS name: > Create

This new DNS zone creates NS records like below:

Log in to Go daddy console > Domains > click on Domain > scroll down to Manage DNS > Name servers > Change. copy the name servers collected in above step from GCP console and save, this process should take some time to reflect in go daddy portal.

Navigate back to GCP console > Network Services > Cloud DNS zone > {zone created earlier i.e., captainzone in my case} > Add record set:

• DNS Name: <<envname>>
• Resource Record Type: NS
• Name server: collect the name servers from default created zone i.e., <<envname>>-zone of DNS name as <<envname>>.<<domainname>> having NS record type.

Wait for few minutes and access the pcf portal (pcf.<<envname>>.<<domainname>>) in web browser, web page should open with certificate warnings which can be ignored for now.
