General Information – Please Note

OX PowerDNS Cloud Control 1.0 is the initial version of cloud-native OX PowerDNS, aimed at supporting operators in their move to cloud-native services. This version is ‘lab-ready’, which means that it is functionally complete and suitable for integration testing. It allows network operators to identify and test their individual requirements for a cloud-native DNS deployment.

OX PowerDNS Cloud Control 2.0, due to be released later in 2021, will ultimately allow for a fully scalable, telco-grade cloud-native DNS service. Version 2.0 will come with an expanded interface, multi-cluster approach, support/certification of non-default container network interface (CNI) plugins, autoscaling and the option of deploying the OX PowerDNS filtering platform and OX Protect on a Kubernetes cluster.
