Using Azure DNS, you can easily and quickly deploy and manage your domain DNS. It's been an excellent introduction to our web services requirements. It offers all services on a single platform and integrates with other applications. It not only offers DNS services for websites but also for your applications.

  • The Azure Private DNS has an option for automatic mapping which creates a DNS record automatically for all the resources in a particular Vnet, and adds new DNS entries for whenever a new resource is created.
  • The DNS entries can be shared between different VNets automatically and there is no need for manually populating it or syncing it with different networks.
  • The mapping or records is very easy as the target/source/backend is automatically populated and there is no need to keep those IP addresses handy instead you can map them using their name.

The implementation process was fairly easy, quick, and straightforward compared to other estimated timelines from competitors. The price is fair for the service, while the customer success team and engineers know what they are doing, making the entire process smooth and comfortable. Also, they are a big and known brand, which makes us more at ease with our choice
