# Configure CDN integration

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.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to DNS">
    In the [Gcore Customer Portal](https://portal.gcore.com), navigate to **DNS**.

The DNS zone is now integrated with Gcore CDN. The record content changes to **Managed by CDN** and the details column shows **CDN Integration**.
