Creating a Domain Name System (DNS) Entry

Use this tutorial to create a DNS entry to your platform. You determined the output of your DNS zone at the beginning of the installation process. As a reminder, your DNS entry must follow the pattern prefix-suffix[.subdomain].domain.com. For more information, see the DNS entry requirements.

Before you begin:

Make sure you have completed the previous step, Running the Saagie Installer.

Retrieve the IP address(es) of your platform by running the following command line. It will confirm your publicly exposed IP address(es) with the provided tool saagiectl:
```
/path/to/bin/saagiectl describe entrypoint
```
The output of the command should look like the following:
```
Entry point IP:       52.57.191.72 (1)
Entry point hostname: ab2a52978091311eaa4350a2732ba8a5-86116228.eu-central-1.elb.amazonaws.com
Platform URL:         https://dunder-workspace.dundermifflin.com
```
Where:

1 The Entry point IP value is the IP of your Saagie platform.

Update your hosts file with the retrieved IP address(es).

<ip> <prefix>-<suffix>.<domain.com> (1) (2)

Where:

1	`<ip>` must be replaced with the IP of your Saagie platform. For example, 52.57.191.72.
2	`<prefix>`, `<suffix>`, and `<domain.com>` must be replaced with the same URL components determined for your DNS entry at the beginning of the installation process. For example, dunder-workspace.dundermifflin.com.

You are now able to access the URL of your instance from your browser.
