Cloud DNS- Outbound forwarding- Reach On-Prem systems via DNS Names
In this Post, we are going to see how we can enable outbound forwarding in cloud DNS to reach on-prem systems via DNS Names. Data transfer happens between GCP & On-Prem via hybrid connectivity like VPN Tunnels or Interconnects with routes being advertised dynamically using BGP. In case you are reaching your on-prem destinations via Ip-addresses instead of their host names, this post can help you to configure the cloud DNS to reach the on-prem destinations via dns-names ,with the name resolution done by your on-prem DNS server.
Lets assume you have a Host Project where all your networks are provisioned (shared-vpc), Any compute instance in these GCP networks should reach the on-prem destination via dns-names.
Follow the below steps to provision the cloud DNS outbound forwarding with the on-prem Destination DNS servers
Step: 1
