1. A method comprising:
detecting, by a processor of a domain name system (DNS) server, a first text record in a first DNS record set, wherein:
the first DNS record set is stored in a first hosted zone accessible by the DNS server,
the first text record comprises a DNS record with a text (TXT) type, and
the first text record requests assignment of a first hostname to the first hosted zone;
retrieving, by the processor and based on detecting the first text record, a hostname database comprising a second hostname assigned to a second hosted zone managed by the DNS server;
determining, by the processor and by querying the hostname database, that the first hostname is available for use by the first hosted zone; and
generating, by the processor and based on determining that the first hostname is available for use by the first hosted zone, first DNS configuration data that assigns the first hostname to the first hosted zone, wherein generating the first DNS configuration data comprises linking a virtual private cloud with the first hosted zone.
