// ZONEOPS GUARDRAILS

Safety nets for
every DNS change

Six layers of protection between you and a DNS disaster. Every guardrail works automatically — no configuration needed.

Record Protection

Mark critical records as protected. Prevents accidental modification or deletion with confirmation prompts.

SAFETY

Conflict Detection

Detects CNAME conflicts, duplicate records, and multi-value type collisions before they cause outages.

PREVENTION

Drift Detection

Compares expected vs. current record state. Warns you when records have been changed outside the app.

AWARENESS

Propagation Verify

Verifies DNS propagation via Cloudflare API. Confirms records are live before closing the ticket.

VERIFICATION

Tunnel Guardrails

Detect orphaned tunnel DNS records, preview ingress impact, and map tunnel health across your infrastructure.

TUNNELS

Audit & Rollback

Immutable audit log of every change with before/after snapshots. One-click rollback to any previous state.

COMPLIANCE

// DEPLOYMENT PIPELINE

Batch deploy DNS changes
with confidence

Stop making DNS changes one record at a time. Plan your entire migration, review the diff, and deploy atomically.

01

Plan

Search records across all zones. Add creates, edits, and deletes to a named deployment with ticket tracking.

02

Review

See every change at a glance. Run pre-flight validation — 8 checks per item covering connection, zone, drift, conflicts, and more. Nothing deploys by accident.

03

Deploy

Execute all changes in one batch. Real-time per-item progress bar. Per-item success/failure reporting. Schedule for later. Full rollback with impact analysis if anything goes wrong.

04

Verify

Automatic DNS propagation verification via Cloudflare API. Pre-flight validation with 8 checks per item. Deployment rollback with impact analysis. Full audit trail preserved.
