Migrating DNS zones and records

Designate zones can be migrated with --resource-type=dns-zone. The handler recreates the DNS zone with all of its record sets on the destination.

Note

Consider passing --include-dependencies if the multi-tenant mode is enabled in order to automatically recreate the Keystone resources.
