Abstract
Systems and methods are described to enable automation of service discovery records, such as domain name system (DNS) records, based on rules. An administrator of a hosted server, such as a virtual machine instance, may submit a rule to a rule-based DNS resolution system for generating DNS records to assist in discover of the hosted server. The rule may include criteria specifying servers to which the rule applies, as well as criteria for generating a domain name to associate with the server within a DNS record. The rule-based DNS resolution system can integrate with a hosting system providing the hosted server to obtain configuration information of the hosted server and generate DNS records in accordance with the rule. Rules may also be utilized to automate other aspects of the rule-based DNS resolution system, such as health checking and load balancing.
