Thank you for the update.
This is definitely option I will look into. The downside of this is that I need to delete the records, read the IPs and update the record into DNS. If software tests are running and we have request relying on DNS after records deleted and before updated, they would fail. But I assume that period is very short and it could be mitigated using cache.

Dear oVIrt,Happy to report I have deployed my first python vdsm_hook which removes A, AAAA, TXT records of VM each time after_vm_destroy event is triggered, and it works fine.This was required to be able to quickly redploy/rebuild VMs using same hostname.Issue I am observing/just discovered now is:Since live_migration of VM guest is considered a destruction from Host perspective, DNS records get deleted and VM lands on new host without being resolvable 😊 .I would like to introduce another python script for hook regarding migration events to get these entries back into DNS but for that I need there IPs.Question:
- Where can I find/locate/read VMs IPs and Hostnames (is it dom_xml) to be able to incorporate them for DNS Update script?
IP is reported via guest agent.You can get that from engine’s API. But this being a hook you can probably poll directly as part of the pre/post migration hook by directly interacting with vdsm, either from a python hook or using vdsm-client, get VM's stats and parse it from there
The reason why I mentioned this would be better, if it can be pulled off, is that I would not need to trigger deletion of records if I could catch the migration action. In case it would be shutdown/power off or delete, it would be triggered, but not in case of migration.
- What would be even better, is there a way to not trigger the dns update if VM is being Migrated? Can I use dom_xml or other location to check wheter VM is migrated or not, which would allow me to control if dnsupdate should be triggered or not
Not sure how exactly you mean that to work, in general you can use before/after_vm_migrate_source and before/after_vm_migrate_destination hook points to intervene wherever you prefer.
