DNS, or Domain Name System, serves as the internet's directory, translating human-readable domain names into machine-readable IP addresses (e.g. "xkcd.com" => 151.101.0.67). This translation allows users to access websites, send emails, and utilize other internet services using familiar domain names instead of numerical IP addresses.

- The DNS record assigned to each machine has the following pattern
<machine-name>.<tenancy-name>.<parameter><hosting-location>.ewcloud.host hostwhere:- parameter : f relative to ECMWF or s relative to EUMETSAT
- hosting-location: f means an ECMWF-hosted VM and s means a EUMETSAT-hosted VM
- tenancy-name: "mytenant" that you can find from this page Logging in to Morpheus or (only for tenancy admins) go to Administration → Users → Identity Sources
- machine-name: no spaces are allowed in the VM name, if you provision a VM with spaces in the name the record won't be created. Moreover if the name has capital letters, the domain will use lower letters.
- Example: myvm.example_tenancy.s.ewcloud.host
- The DNS record is created after provisioning a machine in Morpheus and it is available after some minutes (up to 15 minutes).
- If a machine has both private IP and public IP, the public IP will be assigned The IP assinged to the DNS record prioritize the public IP if a machine has both private IP and public IP. If you need the private IP instead, please raise a ticket.
These default DNS names are intended to allow simpler usage when testing or developing. If you wish to run a public-facing service, we recommend additionally using a specific (or your organisation's) DNS domain. For advice, feel free to contact us.
