Good to know

  • Zones must already exist in the Scaleway console. We can't create them.
  • Records that use GeoIP, weighted, HTTP-service or view routing are copied as their default value, flagged in a comment and never changed by us.
  • NS records below the apex need a TTL of at least 1800 seconds, so shorter TTLs are raised.
