Onboarding to GSLB

Onboarding to GSLB

Onboarding your application to GSLB involves creating a series of objects that map your existing domain to a set of virtual servers, allowing GSLB to organize and direct its traffic.

  1. Configure GSLB objects. There are two ways to do this:

    • Topology Page: Create and connect GSLB objects visually via the Topology.

    • Object Configuration Pages: Create and configure each GSLB object individually via their respective configuration pages. See Configuring GSLB Objects

  2. Linking GSLB to domain register: Once your GSLB objects are configured, apply your changes by linking them to your DNS records to make your application reachable on the internet.

For those migrating a domain from another vendor to GSLB, it is crucial to configure the object on GSLB first. Otherwise, your domain could be temporarily out of service.

If you are setting up a brand new domain, the sequence of steps does not affect functionality.
