 # What is Azure DNS?
 
-Azure DNS provides DNS hosting and resolution using the Microsoft Azure infrastructure. Azure DNS consists of three services:
+The Domain Name System (DNS) is responsible for translating (resolving) a service name to an IP address.  Azure DNS provides DNS hosting and resolution using the Microsoft Azure infrastructure. Azure DNS not only supports internet-facing DNS domains, but it also supports private DNS zones.
+
+Azure DNS provides the following services:
 - [Azure Public DNS](public-dns-overview.md) is a hosting service for DNS domains. By hosting your domains in Azure, you can manage your DNS records by using the same credentials, APIs, tools, and billing as your other Azure services.
 - [Azure Private DNS](private-dns-overview.md) is a DNS service for your virtual networks. Azure Private DNS manages and resolves domain names in the virtual network without the need to configure a custom DNS solution. 
 - [Azure DNS Private Resolver](dns-private-resolver-overview.md) is a service that enables you to query Azure DNS private zones from an on-premises environment and vice versa without deploying VM based DNS servers.
+- [Azure Traffic Manager](/azure/traffic-manager/traffic-manager-overview) is a DNS-based traffic load balancer. This service allows you to distribute traffic to your public facing applications across the global Azure regions.
 
-Using Azure DNS, you can host and resolve public domains, manage DNS resolution in your virtual networks, and enable name resolution between Azure and your on-premises resources.
+Using Azure DNS, you can host and resolve public domains, manage DNS resolution in your virtual networks, enable name resolution between Azure and your on-premises resources, and load-balance your applications.

 # What is Azure Private DNS?
 
-The Domain Name System (DNS) is responsible for translating (resolving) a service name to an IP address.  Azure DNS is a hosting service for domains and provides naming resolution using the Microsoft Azure infrastructure. Azure DNS not only supports internet-facing DNS domains, but it also supports private DNS zones.
-
 Azure Private DNS provides a reliable and secure DNS service for your virtual networks. Azure Private DNS manages and resolves domain names in the virtual network without the need to configure a custom DNS solution. By using private DNS zones, you can use your own custom domain name instead of the Azure-provided names during deployment. Using a custom domain name helps you tailor your virtual network architecture to best suit your organization's needs. It provides a naming resolution for virtual machines (VMs) within a virtual network and connected virtual networks. Additionally, you can configure zones names with a split-horizon view, which allows a private and a public DNS zone to share the name.
 
 To resolve the records of a private DNS zone from your virtual network, you must link the virtual network with the zone. Linked virtual networks have full access and can resolve all DNS records published in the private zone. You can also enable [autoregistration](private-dns-autoregistration.md) on a [virtual network link](private-dns-virtual-network-links.md). When you enable autoregistration on a virtual network link, the DNS records for the virtual machines in that virtual network are registered in the private zone. When autoregistration gets enabled, Azure DNS will update the zone record whenever a virtual machine gets created, changes its' IP address, or gets deleted.
