1. Configuration of New DNS Server

1.1. Prerequisites API

The new DNS server to be configured should be reachable from SDDC components.
DNS resolution (forward and reverse lookup) for all management VMs and ESXi hosts in place
All SDDC components should be reachable from SDDC manager.
All SDDC components state should be "ACTIVE" in VCF inventory.

1.2. Steps API

Validate the DnsConfiguration input before configuration.

2. Configuration of New NTP Server

2.1. Prerequisites API

The new NTP server(s) to be configured should be reachable from SDDC components.
The new NTP server(s) should be able to do NTP sync from SDDC Manager.
All SDDC components should be reachable from SDDC manager.
