Configure Custom Host Names for Load Balancers

Configure a separate custom host name for both the load balancer instances, created in your primary and secondary OCI regions.

To configure a host name for a load balancer:

  1. Choose a custom host name for a load balancer instance and register it with a DNS provider.

  2. After you've acquired a domain, create a DNS record for the load balancer instance. You can create and manage DNS records using an OCI DNS zone.

    1. Add an OCI DNS zone through the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console or the API. See Managing DNS Service Zones for details on creating an OCI DNS zone and adding a record to it.
    2. After you've created a zone, update your domain to use the OCI DNS name servers.

    3. Add a record in the OCI DNS zone for the corresponding load balancer instance. Enter the following details:

      • Record Type: A – IPv4 Address.
      • Name: Optionally, enter a subdomain.
      • Address: Enter the IP address of the corresponding load balancer instance.
