We announced Cloud DNS at Cloud Platform Live on March 25th. It kind of got lost in the noise around the big price cuts.

Any chance of geographic and/or latency based views and edns-client-subnet support?

I'm not up on what the plans for that team are right now. I can say that it is an explicit goal to expose more and more of Google's infrastructure through cloud -- including how we route traffic globally.

Not sure, but this one is funny:

dig +short -t txt google-public-dns-a.google.com

This was released on March 28th:

Guess this is just on the front page because of XKCD about the other Google DNS product?

Google Cloud DNS is completely different than Google Public DNS. The former is an authoritative DNS service ("hosting") while Google Public DNS is a resolver.

I was thinking the same thing. Has XKCD predicted the future again?
