Overview
Traffic scheduling management is a multi-CDN smart resolution and scheduling tool provided by Tencent Cloud EdgeOne. It supports custom traffic scheduling policies between the origin server and multiple service providers to implement smooth canary migration of traffic and flexible allocation of services, thereby ensuring a high service availability. Once your site is connected to EdgeOne, you can manage your connected domain name through the domain name service module. When your site is connected, EdgeOne provides you with three different connection modes, including connection via NS, connection via CNAME, and connection via DNSPod. Depending on the mode of site connection, different capabilities will be offered within the domain name service module.
Description of Connection Modes
To allow users to flexibly connect to EdgeOne based on actual business needs, EdgeOne currently supports three connection modes: connection via NS, connection via CNAME, and connection via DNSPod. Below is a comparison of the three modes:
Mode | Connection via NS (Recommended) | Connection via CNAME | Connection via DNSPod |
Use case | You can modify the DNS resolution service provider of your domain name and switch the domain name resolution service to EdgeOne. | If your current domain name is already managed by another DNS resolution service provider and you do not want to change the existing service provider, you can use the mode of connection via CNAME. | When the domain name is managed on Tencent Cloud DNSPod, it is recommended to use this connection mode. |
DNS record management | After connection, DNS records of the current domain name are managed solely in EdgeOne. | After connection, DNS records are still managed by the existing DNS resolution service provider. | After connection, DNS records are still managed in the Tencent Cloud DNSPod console. |
Advantage | You can manage DNS records of your domain name in EdgeOne in a one-stop manner. After domain name acceleration takes effect, it can support directly resolving A records by default to point to the nearest EdgeOne edge node, reducing the time taken for domain name resolution. | You can connect without changing the DNS resolution service provider for the domain name, making the usage more flexible and allowing quick switching between multi-cloud vendors. | Through connection via DNSPod, you can skip domain name ownership verification. It also supports one-click addition of domain name CNAME records for quick acceleration. |
Supported Capabilities
Depending on the connection mode, different capabilities will be provided for you in the domain name service menu:
