--- # These are root/APEX records, things that live at the top-level of the zone. # There are multiple records so there's a YAML list, each element in that list # defines its own record. '': # We first have an A record, mapping A my-domain.com to two IPv4 addresses, we # also use a YAML anchor to effectively store the values for later use. - type: A values: &WEB_A_VALUES - 203.0.113.42 - 203.0.113.43 # Similar to the A above, this is a AAAA for my-domain.com with a single IPv6 # addresse. - type: AAAA values: &WEB_AAAA_VALUES - 2001:DB8::44 # Finally it's common to have to prove ownership of a domain with a TXT value # in an APEX record. The following are a couple made up examples of how that # would be done. As you'll see when you plan things The SpfSource will merge # its SPF value in with the values defined here - type: TXT values: - some-verification=3becb991-932f-4433-a280-9df6f39b6194 - z-other-thing=this proves i have control over this domain # This is a wildcard record, any A or AAAA query not matching a more specific # answer defined in this file will match this name and receive the associated # value in response.

We # stored the values earlier in YAML anchors so we can use them now on. # This is a CNAME record pointer: type: CNAME # CNAMEs can only have a single value so they require `value` to be used.
