      New Feature: STACKIT DNS Resolver enters Public Preview.

      Section titled “New Feature: STACKIT DNS Resolver enters Public Preview.”

      We are excited to announce that the STACKIT DNS Resolver is now available in Public Preview.

      The DNS Resolver is an infrastructure component designed to deliver secure, high-performance domain name resolution entirely within the data-sovereign STACKIT Cloud.

      Unlike typical catalog services, the DNS Resolver is not a product you need to order, but an underlying network enhancement built directly into our ecosystem. To maintain the highest security boundaries, it does not act as a generally available public resolver; its accessibility is limited to the STACKIT ecosystem, ensuring your internal lookup queries never leave our secure environment.

      Core features and benefits

      Section titled “Core features and benefits”
      • Data Sovereignty: Operated entirely within STACKIT’s sovereign European infrastructure, ensuring your DNS traffic remains protected and fully compliant with local data privacy standards.
      • Knowing where to Go: DNS is at its best when pointing your workloads in the right direction, but that’s hard to do if your resolver itself is hard to find. To help with this a little, we’ve secured some easy-to-remember IPs, like 213.17.17.17, so you always know exactly where to point.
      • DNS over HTTPS (DoH): Native support for encrypted DNS resolution with no additional configuration requirements, shielding your queries from eavesdropping or tampering.
      • Regional Availability: Fully deployed across both active regions (eu01 and eu02) to guarantee low-latency resolution for your workloads.
      • Portal Integration & DNS Toolbox: Lookup your region’s specific resolver IPs within the existing DNS section of the STACKIT Portal. Additionally, the new DNS Toolbox rolled out to the Portal allows you to perform public DNS resolution tests and manually flush the resolver’s DNS cache if needed.

      Seamlessly integrate at zero cost

      Section titled “Seamlessly integrate at zero cost”

      Because this is a fundamental networking component, the STACKIT DNS Resolver is completely free of charge and requires no ordering process.

      During this Public Preview phase, you can start routing your traffic through the resolver by manually updating your SNA or Network’s DNS server list or adjust the operating system configuration to point to the respective regional resolver IPs like 213.17.17.17. Learn more about this topic with (STACKIT DNS Resolver IPs). The IPs are visible in the Portal as well.

      We are continuously optimizing our core infrastructure based on your valuable feedback. Our Help Center and the documentation are always at your disposal if you have any questions. Start with Introduction to STACKIT DNS Resolver to get in touch with it.

      DNS: Feature Update

      Section titled “DNS: Feature Update”

      A number of new features in our DNS product are available to you:

      • Our integration with Public IPs eliminates Copy&Paste effort in the Portal by allowing you to select from public IPs while creating A-Records and also to create DNS records alongside requesting a new Public IP.
      • Resource Record Restore allows you to simply rollback record deletions in the Portal & API now.
      • We also introduced some improvements to Zone Management, including:
        • Zone Restore allows you to rollback complete zone deletions, including all records.
        • Zone Cloning allows you to create an exact copy of a zone.
          • An additional option is available to adjust the cloned records to the new zone name.
        • Zone Move allows you to transfer zones between projects without a downtime or migration effort.
      • A section with ‘Registrator setup’ information offers you all relevant information for the necessary delegations.
      • Acting on customer feedback we relaxed the strict enforcement of a “trailing dot” while adding Resource Record data.
      • We’re also very proud of our feature to Export & Import Resource Records, which is enabling bulk operation and many more use case using CSV, BIND and JSON inputs.
        • In addition a ‘restore’ method now offers a way to do point in time recovery of zone state you exported before.
      • Further we expanded on the list of standard record type you can add while also introducing a CUSTOM record type for records not yet implemented.

      Also check out the DNS How-Tos for more information on some of the new features.

      Section titled “STACKIT Subdomains feature is now available in STACKIT DNS”

      We are happy to announce that the STACKIT Subdomains feature is now available in STACKIT DNS.

      The STACKIT Subdomain feature that allows you to create a zone as DNS subdomain within one of five domains hosted by STACKIT, namely:
