Connecting CloudDNS to Netlify (using Cloud DNS as my DNS provider)

I am trying to use my Cloud DNS config for Netlify. I want to use Cloud DNS as my DNS provider and not Netlify.

Cloud DNS does not allow CNAMEs for root domain.

Any suggestions on how to configure it please?

Thanks for any advice.

@Paul_Berlin The relevant documentation is here:
https://docs.netlify.com/domains/configure-domains/configure-external-dns/

The apex specific instructions are here:
https://docs.netlify.com/domains/configure-domains/configure-external-dns/#configure-an-apex-domain

It doesn’t require a CNAME:

If your DNS provider does not support ALIAS, ANAME, or flattened CNAME records, use this fallback option.

  1. Find your DNS provider’s DNS record settings for your apex domain, such as petsofnetlify.com.
  2. Add an A record. Depending on your provider, leave the host field empty or enter @.
  3. Point the record to Netlify’s load balancer IP address: 75.2.60.5 .
