Notes
Note
- Zones can be thought of as a logical group of domains, all of which share the same DNS records (i.e. they point to the same IP). An API key generated via the Memset customer control panel is needed with the following minimum scope - dns.zone_create, dns.zone_delete, dns.zone_list.
 
Examples
# Create the zone 'test'
- name: Create zone
  community.general.memset_zone:
    name: test
    state: present
    api_key: 5eb86c9196ab03919abcf03857163741
    ttl: 300
  delegate_to: localhost
# Force zone deletion
- name: Force delete zone
  community.general.memset_zone:
    name: test
    state: absent
    api_key: 5eb86c9196ab03919abcf03857163741
