What is Aws Custom DNS in Atlas ?

I had a look at the Atlas documentation and had a question about what is Link to AWS Custom DNS docs` as the docs provide no information. If it is what I understand it would allow for MongoDB Atlas Clusters to resolve hostnames based on the custom DNS that we provide?

It sounds like the “Link to AWS Custom DNS docs” in the MongoDB Atlas documentation is meant to guide users on configuring custom DNS settings for AWS environments. This would allow your Atlas clusters to resolve hostnames based on a custom DNS service you provide, rather than the default AWS DNS settings.

Here’s how it generally works:

  1. Custom DNS Setup: You configure your AWS environment to use your custom DNS servers.
  2. Atlas Configuration: Ensure that your Atlas cluster can resolve the hostnames using the custom DNS.
  3. Network Configuration: Adjust network settings in your AWS VPC to route DNS queries appropriately.

If you need more specific guidance, you might need to consult AWS documentation or MongoDB support for further details Read More.
