A zone is the largest organization entity in CloudStack - and we'll be creating one, this should be the screen that you see in front of you now. And for us there are 5 pieces of information that we need.

Name - we will set this to the ever-descriptive 'Zone1' for our cloud.

CloudStack distinguishes between internal and public DNS. Internal DNS is assumed to be capable of resolving internal-only hostnames, such as your NFS server’s DNS name. Public DNS is provided to the guest VMs to resolve public IP addresses. You can enter the same DNS server for both types, but if you do so, you must make sure that both internal and public IP addresses can route to the DNS server. In our specific case we will not use any names for resources internally, and we have indeed them set to look to the same external resource so as to not add a namerserver setup to our list of requirements.
