Create a Zone
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In environments that include the DNS service, you can create a DNS Zone.

#. Source the ``demo`` credentials to perform
   the following steps as a non-administrative project:

   .. code-block:: console

      $ . demo-openrc

#. Create a DNS Zone called ``example.com.``:

   .. code-block:: console

      $ openstack zone create --email dnsmaster@example.com example.com.

#. After a short time, verify successful creation of the DNS Zone:

   .. code-block:: console

      $ openstack zone list

      | id                                   | name         | type    |     serial | status | action |

      +--------------------------------------+--------------+---------+------------+--------+--------+

#. You can now create RecordSets in this DNS Zone:

   .. code-block:: console

      $ openstack recordset create --records '10.0.0.1' --type A example.com. www
