A DNS Zone, and a Plain Account of Why It Is Not Yet Serving Anybody

A DigitalOcean domain and its records. Creating the zone does not delegate it: until the registrar's nameservers point here the zone is correct, complete and serving nobody, which looks exactly like a working zone. The domain's ip_address shortcut, which hides an apex A record from your records map, is deliberately not used, and a CNAME at the apex is refused.

Provider drift

This artifact declares no Terraform provider requirements, so there is nothing to drift. Provider freshness applies to Terraform and OpenTofu modules.

What depends on this

No reference architecture names this module, so changing it affects only configurations that reference it directly.
