Create A LINKED Record

Prerequisites

• Configuring Hub
• Configuring Environment
• Deploying Your First Container
• Configure DNS

With the zone created, a LINKED Record can now be generated. A LINKED Record is a special kind of record that makes it easy to link domains to containers.

To do this click Add Record on the zone dashboard to bring up the record create wizard. Select LINKED from the dropdown.

Enter the following settings and then click Create at the bottom of the form.

• Name - @
• Environment - select the environment from the dropdown.
• Link to Container - select the container created in the previous steps from the dropdown.
• TLS Enabled - check this box.

The LINKED Record allows for automatic mapping of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to the correct environment load balancer where the desired container resides. Linked records with TLS can also opt in to http > https redirection and TLS termination at the load balancer which will be covered shortly.

At this point, the LINKED Record is properly configured, but it will not route traffic yet since the public network is disabled. The next step will discuss starting the load balancer and configuring public network settings.
