You can fully integrate Azure DNS with Azure resources. Azure DNS provides functionality allowing you to automatically update records based on when you deploy or modify resources in Azure. For example, say you aren't using Azure DNS and you choose to deploy a web application that you want to associate with the custom FQDN app.tailwindtraders.com. You'll need to create or update the host record for app.tailwindtraders.com in the tailwindtraders.com DNS zone to point to the web app's IP address on a DNS server that you manage separately. With Azure DNS, you can automate the process of configuring and updating DNS records. If you move the web app to a new location, the Azure DNS record associated with that web app will automatically be updated.

Azure DNS supports all common DNS record types including A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, PTR, SOA, SRV, and TXT records. Azure DNS supports records that map to both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and Azure DNS servers can be reached by clients using both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Azure DNS hosts DNS zones and provides a name resolution service using Microsoft's Azure infrastructure. Traditionally when a DNS service is hosted on a server running Windows Server or Linux and a DNS zone gets delegated to that server, a client making a DNS query for a host in that zone will have their query answered by that DNS server service. When a host on the internet queries for a DNS record in a DNS zone that has been delegated to Azure DNS, Azure DNS responds to that host with the result of that query.

DNS zones in Azure DNS are hosted across Azure's global network of DNS name servers. These servers use Anycast networking so that queries for DNS zone data will be answered by the DNS server closest to the querying client. For example, if a person in Australia is performing a DNS query against a DNS record in a DNS zone hosted in Azure DNS, a DNS server in an Australian Azure datacenter will respond to that query. The same query performed by someone in Europe will have a DNS server in a European Azure region respond to the query.

## Azure DNS public zones

Azure DNS public zones host domain name zone data for records that you intend to be resolved by any host on the internet. Azure DNS public zones support all common DNS record types including A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, PTR, SOA, SRV, and TXT records. Azure DNS supports alias record sets. You can use an alias record set to refer to an Azure resource, such as an Azure public IP address, an Azure Traffic Manager profile, or an Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) endpoint. If the IP address of the underlying resource changes, the alias record set seamlessly updates itself during DNS resolution. The alias record set points to the service instance, and the service instance is associated with an IP address. You can create a DNS zone and manage the resources within that zone using the Azure portal, Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, or through a Rest API.

## Azure DNS private zones

Many organizations use internal DNS names that are separate from public DNS names for hosts on their internal on-premises networks. Azure Private DNS zones allow you to replicate this functionality by configuring a private DNS zone namespace that can be used to map FQDNs with private Azure resources. For example, you might have several virtual networks that host virtual machines in your organization's Azure subscription that are inaccessible to the internet but accessible through a virtual private network.

In the future, Tailwind Traders will deploy several multi-tier applications running across IaaS virtual machines. In this configuration, each virtual machine performs different application tasks including manipulation and processing of sales data. The application architects want each virtual machine to be able to access other resources on these private virtual networks using FQDNs. You also want to ensure that those FQDNs aren't resolvable to hosts outside on the Internet. This task can be accomplished using Azure DNS private zones. If you want to configure some records in the tailwindtraders.com DNS zone to be public whilst others remain private, you can also use Azure DNS private zones to accomplish this goal. Another term for this segmenting of public and private DNS records in a zone is split-horizon DNS.

- **Split-horizon DNS support**: With Azure DNS, you can create zones with the same name that resolves to different answers from within a virtual network and from the public internet. A typical scenario for split-horizon DNS is to provide a dedicated version of a service for use inside your virtual network.
