Service design and implementation

The architecture of the eduDNS service is described in the scheme below. The main component of the service will be an NS-update server which consists of a GUI front-end, a REST API and a backend engine for the Dynamic DNS service. Users will log in to GUI front-end using eduGAIN/eduTEAMS account and register hostnames in supported domains (by default edudns.eu). After obtaining the hostnames, users will be able to assign/update IP addresses of VMs/servers to the hostnames, then access the VMs/services via the registered hostnames.
