Cloudflare Dns

This is a practical reference for managing Cloudflare DNS via their REST API, with a specific focus on Azure integrations. It covers the essentials: setting up scoped API tokens instead of global keys, managing different record types (A, CNAME, TXT, MX), and understanding when to proxy traffic through Cloudflare versus DNS-only mode. The External-DNS section is solid if you're running Kubernetes and want automated DNS management for ingresses and services. One thing to note: the guide correctly emphasizes using upsert-only policy in production rather than sync, which can prevent accidental deletions. It's thorough on the automation side but assumes you're already familiar with why you'd choose Cloudflare over other DNS providers.

Cloudflare DNS Skill

Complete Cloudflare DNS operations via REST API with focus on Azure integration.

Overview

This skill covers Cloudflare DNS management for Azure-hosted workloads, including:

API token configuration and security
DNS record management (A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT, MX)
Proxy settings (orange/gray cloud)
External-DNS integration for Kubernetes
Troubleshooting and monitoring

Authentication

API Token (Recommended)

Create scoped API tokens instead of using Global API Key:

Required Permissions:

Permission	Access	Purpose
Zone > Zone	Read	List zones
Zone > DNS	Edit	Manage DNS records

Create Token:

Cloudflare Dashboard > My Profile > API Tokens
Create Token > Custom token
Add permissions above
Zone Resources: Specific zones only
(Optional) IP filtering for extra security

Environment Setup:

# Export for API calls
export CF_API_TOKEN="your-api-token"
export CF_ZONE_ID="your-zone-id"

# Get zone ID
curl -s -X GET "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CF_API_TOKEN" | jq '.result[] | {name, id}'
