# Delegate Subdomains

How to delegate subdomains to another Cloud Provider

When managing a domain, such as `example.com`, you may want to delegate control of specific subdomains to different cloud platforms. The guide will help you go through the steps how to delegate subdomain from a Cloud Provider to a hosted zone in AWS and GCP.

Lets assume you have `example.com` registed in a DNS Provider such as GoDaddy or CloudFlare, and we want to be able to delegate:

* `aws.example.com`. to your AWS account
* `gcp.example.com`. to your GCP account

### Delegate subdomains to AWS

For DNS management, AWS offers Amazon Route 53. Here are the steps you need to take:

1. Create a public hosted zone for `aws.example.com` in Route 53.
2. Note down the nameserver (NS) records that Route 53 assigns to your new hosted zone
3. To delegate the DNS control, you need to update the DNS settings of your primary domain `example.com` in the DNS Provider.
4. Go to where `example.com` is hosted, and add NS records for `aws.example.com`, pointing to the nameservers you noted from AWS Route 53.

This configuration delegates the management of `aws.example.com` to AWS.

### Delegate subdomains to GCP

1. Create a managed zone for `gcp.example.com` in Google Cloud DNS.
2. Note down the nameserver (NS) records assigned to the managed zone.
3. Update the DNS settings for your primary domain `example.com` in your DNS Provider to delegate GCP:
4. Go to where `example.com` is hosted. and add NS records for `gcp.example.com`, pointing to the nameservers noted from Google Cloud DNS.

This configures the delegation of `gcp.example.com` to GCP.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/automation-platform/extras-overview/delegate-subdomains.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
