Description
nslookup -type=SRV _couchbases._tcp......ect-avengers.com -> Works
nslookup -type=SRV _https._tcp......ect-avengers.com:18091 -> Doesn't work
This is not specific to cloud, but a combination of alternate addresses and DNS-SRV.
bootstrap in SDKs has long moved over to KV from HTTPS. that happened around Server 3.0 and got better with GCCCP in 6.5
it’s not useful to connect to HTTPS if you’re never going to use it. it’s more expensive for the cluster.
The reason connecting to _https doesn't work - there is no SRV record for a service named _https and shouldn’t be, since the primary entry point for topology lookup is the KV service
