Architecture

Public Authoritative DNS Resolution consists of the control layer and the resolution layer.

  • Control layer: The control layer provides services for customers by using the console and API operations. The control layer allows customers to add, delete, modify, query, and save Domain Name System (DNS) resolution data, configuration data, and log data. The control layer is located in the China (Zhangjiakou) region.

  • The resolution layer provides services by using the DNS server clusters that are deployed around the world. The resolution layer receives the DNS record data distributed from the control layer and responds to the queries for the DNS record data. The resolution layer covers the major continents and regions around the world.
