DNS Version Control

Overview

Constellix’s Version Control is a unique administrative feature that allows you to quickly and easily revert back to a previous version of a configuration. Restoration options are available for the last 100 versions of your configurations. You are also able to create up to 10 snapshots of your domain, which can be used to restore your domain to a previous state. 

Common Use Cases for Using DNS Version Control

Version Control is helpful for quickly correcting mistakes or unexpected issues caused by new DNS rollouts or for comparing version history.

Prerequisites

• A domain has been added to your account
