Good to know

  • Only public zones in the commercial realm (oraclecloud.com) are supported. Private resolver zones are skipped.
  • Apex NS records are fixed by Oracle Cloud, and records marked as protected can't be changed.
  • DNSSEC key-signing-key rollovers still need a manual promote step in Oracle Cloud after the DS record is updated at the registrar.
