Cloudflare DNS
Cloudflare DNS is a widely used managed authoritative DNS service, hosting domain zones and exposing an API for automated record management.
Use Cases
Complete ACME DNS-01 domain validation automatically through Cloudflare-managed DNS zones.
Automated DNS-01 Validation
Uses a scoped Cloudflare API token to create and remove the TXT record needed for ACME DNS-01 domain validation.
Public & Private CA Support
Validated Cloudflare-managed domains can be used by ACME profiles for Let’s Encrypt, Google Public CA, or other ACME-based issuance.
Zone-Scoped Credentials
Uses an API token scoped to DNS edit rights on specific zones only, limiting the blast radius of the credential.
