Designing and Implementing Name Resolution
Domain Name System (DNS) servers are used to host records that translate human-readable domain names into machine-readable IP addresses (used by computers to communicate with each other). Traditionally, DNS servers are hosted on a customer-managed infrastructure, but Azure offers multiple options to implement name resolution without us having to manage the underlying infrastructure. This chapter covers these options for both internal and external name resolution scenarios. We will discuss what Azure DNS is, its features, and use cases. We will cover how to configure Azure DNS for private and public name resolution scenarios.
In this chapter, we will cover the following main topics:
- A hands-on exercise – provisioning resources for the chapter’s exercises
- Name resolution scenarios and options
- Internal name resolution scenarios and options
- External name resolution scenarios and options
- A hands-on exercise...
