Akamai v2 Backend¶

Designate Configuration¶

Example configuration required: One section for each pool target

- name: default-akamai-v2
  # The name is immutable. There will be no option to change the name after
  # creation and the only way will to change it will be to delete it
  # (and all zones associated with it) and recreate it.
  description: Akamai v2

  attributes: {}

  # List out the NS records for zones hosted within this pool
  ns_records:
    - hostname: ns1-1.example.org.
      priority: 1

  # List out the nameservers for this pool. These are the actual Akamai servers.
  # We use these to verify changes have propagated to all nameservers.
  nameservers:
    - host: 192.0.2.2
      port: 53

  # List out the targets for this pool. For Akamai, most often, there will be
  # one entry for each Akamai server.
  targets:
    - type: akamai_v2
      description: Akamai v2 server

      # List out the designate-mdns servers from which Akamai servers should
      # request zone transfers (AXFRs) from.
      masters:
        - host: 192.0.2.1
