Overview

PowerDNS Authoritative Server is an open source authoritative DNS server that hosts the DNS zones for your own domains and answers queries for them on the internet. It stores zones and records in a relational database, so you manage DNS with SQL, the pdnsutil command line tool, or a full REST API, and it signs zones with built in DNSSEC.

Why the cloudimg image

The cloudimg image is hardened and fully patched with PowerDNS preconfigured against a database backend and a demo zone that resolves out of the box. A unique REST API key and database password are generated on first boot so no default credentials ship, the management API binds to loopback only, and every instance is backed by a paired deployment guide and 24/7 cloudimg support.

Common uses

  • Authoritative DNS hosting
