API Connect 2018 for POC and POT without xip dns.
A few months back I wrote an article on how to get a quick dns working for working with API Connect 2018. This is another strategy that you can do at your own risk. www.dot.tk allow you to register a free domain, that is free for 12 months. You can then use their DNS server.
I recommend fully reading the T&Cs of dot.tk first.
Dot.tk off a service to register a free domain on some of the lesser known domain endpoints. I have registered www.bored-prawn.cf as well as cminion.cf.
Once you have registered your domain you can configure A and C NAME records to point to the ingress for your API Connect.
This is great for two reasons,
- If you move or redeploy your stack you can keep the endpoints the same
- It looks better then using xip.
I recommend that you create an A or CNAME record to act as a parent. This should point to the ingress. And then create CNAME records for each endpoint that point to the parent.
I have no connection to dot.tk other then a free customer.
