Configuring Azure DNS

Azure DNS is a hosting service for DNS domains where the name resolution is done via the Microsoft Azure infrastructure. It is important to note that you cannot buy domains via Azure DNS. However, you can delegate permissions to Azure DNS for record management.

There is also a feature called Azure Private DNS that provides a reliable and secure DNS service for VNets. When using private DNS zones, you can use a custom domain name instead of using the default domain names provided by Azure. One of the main reasons for using Azure Private DNS is that the domain names in the VNet will be resolved without having to configure a custom DNS on the VNet. A Private DNS zone is a reference to a domain or DNS namespace, such as demo.com, that can be used to resolve DNS names within your environment, the same way you would a custom domain.

The following is a high-level overview of how Azure Private DNS works:
