Manage zones and domain nameservers

• Manage zones: A managed zone is the container for all of your DNS records that share the same DNS name prefix, for example, example.com. Managed zones are automatically assigned a set of name servers when they are created to handle responding to DNS queries for that zone.

• Manage records: Managing DNS records for the Google Cloud DNS API involves sending change requests to the API. These changes consist of additions and deletions to your resource record sets collection. 

• Update your domain's name servers: This guide helps you look up your Cloud DNS name servers and change your domain registrar's name servers for your domain.
