This document guides you through how to delete a DNS record when it is no longer needed. The intended audience for this document is platform administrators and application operators responsible for managing DNS records within a project.
Before you begin
To delete DNS records in GDC, you must have the following:
- An existing DNS record in a DNS zone. See List DNS records for guidance on listing your current records.
- The necessary identity and access roles. To manage DNS records for your
project, ask your Project IAM Admin to grant you the
Managed DNS Project Admin (
managed-dns-project-admin) role. - A kubeconfig file for the global API server. If you have not yet generated this file, see Sign in. For more information, see Global and zonal API servers.
Delete a DNS record
Use the Kubernetes API in GDC to delete a DNS record:
kubectl --kubeconfig GLOBAL_API_SERVER \
delete resourcerecordset.networking.global.gdc.goog RESOURCE_RECORD_NAME \
-n PROJECT_NAMESPACE
Replace the following:
GLOBAL_API_SERVER: the global API server's kubeconfig path. For more information, see Global and zonal API servers. If you have not yet generated a kubeconfig file for the API server, see Sign in for details.RESOURCE_RECORD_NAME: the DNS record to be deleted, such asmyhost.system.example.com.PROJECT_NAMESPACE: the namespace of your project.
