Scaleway/Iliad Launches DNS Service

Scaleway (groupe Iliad) announced its DNS service which simplifies the management of IP addressing and associated domain names.

With this service, the company‘s public cloud ecosystem is one of the most complete.

The firm develops its range of products to provide clients with a complete offering for all their cloud services. The DNS (Domain Name Service) allows users to translate a domain name into an IP address in order to reroute requests to the service or an associated server. The company offers best market practices with a DNS service that controls and optimizes the routing of connections to all of the firm‘s dedicated services, public cloud products and data center solutions, as well as to any service outside of the company in order to facilitate multi-cloud designs for its clients.

Cloud ecosystem
With the launch of DNS, the company strengthens its public cloud ecosystem which already contains over 40 references available in a few seconds from the client console. The cloud service provider’s catalog includes compute services (Instances and Bare Metal), storage, and network, as well as tools including IoT and Terraform automation.

The firm stands apart from other providers by offering public cloud services built on technology such as S3-compatible Object Storage, C14 Cold Storage as an alternative to Glacier, Kubernetes Kapsule, and also a managed MQTT protocol for connected devices. The company was the pioneer of Bare Metal, and its new DNS service can be linked to all Bare Metal references including a powerful model launched a few days ago (UP-BM2-XL: 224 cores/448 threads).

Integrated into multi-cloud vision
The company develops its ecosystem with the multi cloud in mind to create environments which are favorable to mixed infrastructures. Integration into standard technologies is becoming indispensable so that developers and DevOps engineers are able to work with the solutions and providers best adapted to their projects. The DNS service, coupled with the firm‘s Load Balancer, also allows traffic and workloads to be distributed over a multi-cloud design. Indeed, the load balancer on offer with the firm authorizes all IP addresses, without exception, to define backend destination services.

The company continues its progression as a WW cloud provider, its services are designed by ecosystem, and open to the multi cloud.
