Objective
Supports for DNS names for VMs in EGI Federated cloud are recently required by many VOs. The aim of this task is to provide Dynamic DNS support for VMs in EGI Federated Clouds. Users can register their chosen meaningful and memorable DNS host names in given domains (e.g. my-server.vo-name.egi.eu) and assign to public IPs of their servers hosted in EGI Federated Cloud. By using Dynamic DNS, users can host services in EGI Federated Cloud with their meaningful server names, can freely move VMs from sites to sites without modifying server/client configurations (federated approach), can request valid server certificates in advance (critical for security)and many other advantages.
Participants

Requirements
Basic functionalities
Web-based GUI interfaces for registering DNS hostnames for EGI users DNS server with Dynamic DNS support for forward DNS resolution Command-line clients for assigning registered hostnames to IPs
Advanced functionalities
Using EGI Checkin services Command-line client for registering DNS names
Not compulsory but desired functionalities
Support for reverse DNS
Used technologies
BIND9 server with configuration for updating DNS names via RFC 2136 nsupdate.info software for registering and managing DNS names/domains
Current status
A testing domain fedcloud.eu has been registered for testing and development (without touching production domains like egi.eu) DNS servers are installed and configured for fedcloud.eu domain Portal is installed on configured Users can register themselves and log in portal, can register DNS names within fedcloud.eu domain and assign to VMs Integrate to EGI CheckIn service
Ongoing work
Clean up codes Justify setting and user interface Defining policies Preparation for alpha/beta testing
Next steps
Support for command-line clients for registering domains
Long term work
Support for reverse DNS resolution
