When using both Gcore Managed DNS and Gcore CDN, A and AAAA records can be configured to resolve directly to CDN addresses. CDN integration eliminates the need for a CNAME record and the associated additional DNS lookup on the end-user side — Gcore DNS resolves the record to the optimal CDN address automatically.
