DNS configurations to activate PrivateZone on Alibaba Cloud ECS - alibaba-cloud

I want to activate PrivateZone on Alibaba Cloud ECS instance so that I can create private zones, add records to the private zones and associate the private zones with VPS's.
How can I modify the DNS configurations to activate PrivateZone.
I appreciate any assistance with this.

When you are in the DNS console activate it clicking Private Zone https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/doc-detail/64627.htm?spm=a2c63.p38356.b99.10.2c6017cfXo6FnT
You don't need to change anything on your instances, private dns zone should workout of the box. https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/doc-detail/65415.htm?spm=a2c63.p38356.b99.23.2c6017cf39XXX6

In order to use privatezone you need to activate it. After activating the service add the private zone and configure a record for the zone.
To add a private zone:
Log on to the DNS console
Click ZoneList and Click AddZone add a new zone
You can see that the zone is created.
To configure a record for the zone:
Select the privatezone and enter into resolution page settings
Click Add Record to add a record.
Note: You can add A-record, CNAME-record, MX-record, TXT-record and PTR-record

How do I add the domain I own in oracle cloud and host it live?

I want to upload my local wordpress to the domain I bought and make it live. But I don't know how to add domain and add dns in oracle cloud.
Unfortunately, there's no simple answer to your question. The general documentation on using Oracle Cloud DNS Service can be found here. Below is a quick summary of tasks that need to be completed:
Note the public IP address assigned to your compute instance that's hosting the web server. Assign one if necessary. The compute instance must be on a public subnet to be assigned one.
In your tenant's root compartment, create a Zone for your domain, e.g. example.com.
Create an "A" zone record, e.g. www.example.com => 123.123.123.123
Publish the record.
On your Registrar's DNS management console, update the name server records to point to Oracle Cloud's name servers assigned to the zone.

How to get my Public DNS (IPv4) of instance Amazon EC2

I launched a new instance in EC2 Management of amazon but this don't have the Public DNS (IPv4).
Can you tell me what I'm missing?
details
Get your VPC ID from your EC2 dashboard.
Go to VPC dashboard. Select your VPC with VPC ID.
Click on Actions and Select "Edit DNS Hostnames".
Select Yes and click Save.
Now you can find Public DNS IPv4 value in EC2 dashboard.
When you create an EC2 instance you need to select "Public IP", otherwise it only adds a private IP address.
After creation, the only way add public IP address is to allocate and attach and "Elastic IP Address".
Select the instance in the EC2 management console
Click on the Actions->Networking menu
Manage IP Addresses
Allocate an Elastic IP, then attach it to your instance
If you delete your instance, don't forget to delete the Elastic IP as well. You are only charged for them when they are NOT attached to an instance.

What should I set as the hostname of Couchbase server?

In Couchbase 4.0, while initially setting up, I have a field to enter hostname.
I am working on amazon EC2 and use the public DNS as the hostname. This works but every time I shut and restart the instance, my public DNS changes, which renders the entire configuration useless. Can you please suggest what I should do?
Thanks in advance!
If you want to survive the scenario you give, the best option is to not use the EC2 generated public names, but create your own FQDNs in Route53 or another DNS service.

EC2 t2.micro instance has no public DNS

I launched an Amazon Web Service (AWS) EC2 Instance, t2.micro, which must be launched into a VPC.
The VPC has Auto-assign Public IP set to Yes.
DNS resolution: Yes
DNS hostnames: Yes
But on the EC2 Dashboard, the instance still has a blank Public DNS and Public IP. I have tried to restart the instance several times, but it still has not been assigned a Public IP. The 5 Elastic IPs that came with our AWS account have already been used. Is it possible to get a Public IP assigned to a t2.micro instance without using Elastic IP?
I have read the post: EC2 instance has no public DNS,
but I do not have reputation points to be able to add a comment, so I am posting this as new question.
Rightclick on the VPC row in the VPC management console page and select "EDIT DNS Hostname". Set it to "Yes". It´s necessary to allow all the instances with the same VPC.
When you create the new instance in the "Step 3: Configure Instance Details", you need to enable "Auto-assign Public IP".
That´s it! :-)
The most common cause of no public IP address for your EC2 instance is that you're launching your EC2 instance in a private subnet. A private subnet means that any EC2 instances located in that subnet are not directly addressable from the public Internet. In other words, by definition, EC2 instances in a private subnet cannot have a public IP address.
This would explain why checking "public IP address" has no effect, and why you're unable to assign an Elastic IP address.
You can't just relocate an instance from one subnet to another. If you need to do that, you can create an AMI of your instance (right-click on the EC2 instance and click create image), and then launch a new instance from that AMI in a different subnet.
To determine if your subnet is private, look at the Route Table and see if you have an Internet Gateway route. Go to VPC > Subnets > Select a Subnet > Route Table tab. Look for an entry that has something like igw-***. If you see this, it's a public subnet. If you see something like eni-*** / i-***, it's a private subnet.
Also check:
VPC -> Subnets -> Subnet Actions -> Modify Auto-Assign Public IP
Face the same issue today. My EC2 instance has no public DNS thus I'm unable to connect via ssh.
I tried and success with these steps:
Go to VPC > Internet Gateways: make sure an Internet Gateway is created and attached to the EC2's VPC
Goto VPC > Route Tables, select a VPC route, navigate to Routes tab: add a new rule with
++ Destination: 0.0.0.0/0
++ Target: select the created Internet Gateway
Goto VPC > Subnet > Route Table tab: click edit, change to the Route Table with destination 0.0.0.0/0 above
Done.
Hmm. So many responses. All of them on the order of "you did something wrong."
Newsflash: AWS doesn't always work correctly. I've used AWS for a very long time. I've personally witnessed instances that do not start, instances that do not stop, disk corruptions on deployed instances and network failures on running instances.
I've never seen a case where a public IP was not created. Until this morning. Now I can add that to the list.
For the record - here's what I verified :)
Three identical instances in the cluster
All instances are in the same availability zone
All instances have same VPC
VPC DNS settings are correct (resolution / hostnames enabled)
All instances have same subnet
Subnet has: a) public routing table; b) option enabled to create public IP
Plenty of IP space available in the subnet
Two of the three instances receive a public IP. The third does not.
So for any others in the future getting to this post: No, you are not insane. Yes, it is possible that AWS screws up.
In our case, manually terminating the problem instance and issuing a new cluster up..."fixed" the problem.
And - I upvoted the answer that indicated a "launch more like this" from a STOPPED instance had an impact on public IP. Not because it is the correct answer (it is not) but because it demonstrates an admirable response to an otherwise inexplicable situation: trial and error / experimentation. The good old "Gee, what happens if I try this...". As cloud professionals: If all other standard troubleshooting steps fail and the only alternative is to blow away the instance (or subnet, or Lambda function, or DynamoDb, or SNS queue; whatever the failing resource) then it's wise to think outside the box and try other actions.
In other words: keep an open mind.
Go to VPC -> Subnets
And make sure that the Auto-assign public IPv4 address is set to YES
There are many possible reasons. Check the follow.
You need to have a VPC created.
The DNS resolution and DNS hostnames should be enabled.
Choose your VPC -> Actions -> Edit DNS resolution -> enable
Choose your VPC -> Actions -> Edit DNS hostnames -> enable
Into the VPC maybe you need a private and public subnet.
In the private subnet, you need to have a NAT Gateway associate to this.
In the public subnet, you need to have an Internet Gateway associate to this.
You need to enable the auto-assign IP for your public subnet.
Choose the public subnet -> Actions -> Modify auto-assign IP settings -> enable
Later when you launch a new instance in
Step 3: Configure Instance Details.
You should choose your VPC and your public subnet. And in the "Auto-assign Public IP" section choose "Use subnet setting (Enabled)"
I think that that should solve your problem...
I had the same issue. The reason of my issue turned out to be that I was using a route table which was not associated with a subnet.
enter image description here
After I changed my subnet, my instances were assigned public ips.
After creating a Subnet - make sure the Auto-assign public IPv4 setting is set to Yes or Enabled.
After making sure the above setting is turned on - then launch the EC2 instance.
If the above setting is not enabled after Subnet creation - the EC2 instance will be treated as Private and won't have a public IPV4 address.
When I use "launch more like this" option from a STOPPED instance, I'll get a new instance without a public ip. But if I "launch more like this" from a running instance, the new instance has a public ip.
Most likely, the public subnet has no enabled feature for "Auto-assign IPv4". It is selected as "No". And during your instance creation process the default option is "Use subnet setting (Enabled)". That's why newly issued instances cannot get public IP address.
Go VPC dashboard and click Subnets. Select a public subnet and select Modify auto-assign IP settings from Actions list and check Auto-assign IPv4. After saving your changes, your instances will get public IP automatically.
My big "gotcha" on this was when creating a VPC & Subnets from a CloudFormation stack, my Subnets were missing the Property "MapPublicIpOnLaunch" : true.
My Observation :
You need to enable the auto-assign IP for your public subnet. Choose the public subnet -> Actions -> Modify auto-assign IP settings -> enable
Only after the above is done, then launch an EC2 instance and you will start seeing public IP assigned.
Once an EC2 instance created without above setting enabled, that EC2 will not have public IP assigned even after reboot , it already considered that subnet to be private.
Hope this helps!
My Answer:
Please check if you attached a secondary network interface with the instance.
As per AWS Documentations, If you attach another network interface to your instance, your current public IP address is released when you restart your instance. Please read the third point from below.
You cannot manually associate or disassociate a public IP (IPv4) address from your instance. Instead, in certain cases, we release the public IP address from your instance, or assign it a new one:
We release your instance's public IP address when it is stopped,
hibernated, or terminated. Your stopped or hibernated instance receives a
new public IP address when it is started.
We release your instance's public IP address when you associate an
Elastic IP address with it. When you disassociate the Elastic IP address
from your instance, it receives a new public IP address.
If the public IP address of your instance in a VPC has been released, it
will not receive a new one if there is more than one network interface
attached to your instance.
If your instance's public IP address is released while it has a secondary
private IP address that is associated with an Elastic IP address, the
instance does not receive a new public IP address.

About amazon free tier instance

I am trying to use the amazon free tier instance. I got the free fedora server running. I installed a web server in there as well. Now how can I access that server from outside. What domain name to use. I don't have my own domain name now. Doesn't amazon itself give me something to access it?
Amazon EC2 assigns a default public DNS to each instance you spin up. Be warned, its not a user friendly name. To view your public DNS:
Login to the Amazon EC2 service and access your console
Click the gear icon in the top right hand corner, this will display a 'Show/Hide Columns' dialog.
Under 'EC2 Instance Attributes' select Public DNS.
Click Apply to close dialog and save options
Your public DNS now shows up under a column of the same name, copy the value from this column and fire away.
Note that to do anything useful with your instance (as far as accessing it remotely), that you should have enabled one or more security groups for it.
