Private zones

A zone is public or private, fixed at creation.

POST /v1/zones
{
  "name": "internal.example.com",
  "visibility": "private",
  "vpc_ids": ["c3d4e5f6-a7b8-4901-c2d3-e4f5a6b7c8d9"]
}

A private zone answers only inside the VPCs associated with it, and needs at least one at creation. Attach or detach more later through the vpc-associations endpoints.

The console’s Create Zone form has a Visibility card with a private switch and the VPC list. Visibility is fixed at creation either way, so a zone made public stays public.VPCs are regional and DNS is global: the create form offers the region you are currently in. Attach VPCs from other regions afterwards, from the zone’s Settings tab.

The two mismatches are rejected rather than quietly corrected: a private zone with no vpc_ids, and a public zone that carries them, both answer 400.
