OX PowerDNS Cloud Control

OX PowerDNS Cloud Control is a cloud-native deployment solution for OX PowerDNS. It provides a highly scalable and distributed implementation of DNS, while simplifying deployment and scaling by the operations teams. Customers benefit from more efficient resource usage and a cost-effective way of scaling DNS installations for future needs. Main features of OX PowerDNS Cloud Control 1.0 include:

  • Cloud-native deployment and orchestration for large-scale OX PowerDNS deployments
  • Deployment of OX PowerDNS Recursor and DNSdist on a Kubernetes cluster
  • Includes the official images needed for OX PowerDNS Recursor and DNSdist to set up a complete recursive DNS ecosystem in a telecom provider’s network
  • Automated deployment and lifecycle management with Helm charts

A more detailed overview of the main functions and technical descriptions of OX PowerDNS Cloud Control can be found at the Product Guide under: https://www.open-xchange.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Product_Guide_OXPDNS_Cloud_Control_1_0.pdf"

General Information – Please Note

OX PowerDNS Cloud Control 1.0 is the initial version of cloud-native OX PowerDNS, aimed at supporting operators in their move to cloud-native services. This version is ‘lab-ready’, which means that it is functionally complete and suitable for integration testing. It allows network operators to identify and test their individual requirements for a cloud-native DNS deployment. It facilitates orchestration, management & monitoring of OX PowerDNS products in Kubernetes deployments. OX PowerDNS products supported in this version are:

  • OX PowerDNS Recursor - A high-performing, low latency DNS resolver
  • OX PowerDNS DNSdist - A DNS, DoS and abuse-aware loadbalancer

OX PowerDNS Cloud Control 2.0, due to be released later in 2021, will allow for a fully scalable, telco-grade cloud-native DNS service. Version 2.0 will come with an expanded interface, multi-cluster approach, support/certification of non-default container network interface (CNI) plugins, autoscaling and the option of deploying the OX PowerDNS filtering platform and OX Protect on a Kubernetes cluster.
