Final Stage DNS setup

Finish off your installation buy setting up your DNS to Utopia

Grab the IP of your Loadbalancer and Navigate to your DNS server. You can now create those 'A' records specified in the Ingress Naming Convention to your Loadbalancer IP. If you do not have a cPanel or some kind of DNS manager, you can add these entries into your windows host file (usually in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc) to resolve the traffic. EG:

EG: Third Party API 'A' record

After the 'A' records have been created you can either just start using the app, see step 3 here, or you can add ssl to the service to allow access successfully.

You have two options here. The ingress controller will automatically use a generic certificate if it cannot find a matching cert in the kubernetes cluster.

In order to ensure https requests resolve successfully, one can tackle this in two ways:

  1. Apply your own certificate linked to your domain endpoints

  2. Use a third party DNS manager (such as cloudflare) to enforce ssl thoughout the traffic journey

  3. Get going while you get your cert setup! we know you are eager to try out Utopia. follow this process to ensure you don't cause any issues when navigating without a cert setup
