this issue indicates that our DNS instructions make a bad assumption about creating a DNS A record for the private endpoint (that everyone will want to use a wildcard because they don't need to maintain a bunch of private endpoints in this zone)

Updates the azure private connectivity doc, taking the information in this issue at face value


made a couple of logical leaps I am hoping can be confirmed by dev:

  • does the user need to create a DNS A record for each cluster ID they will access over private link? I am assuming yes

  • is this explanation clear enough? would you word this a different way (i.e. what is the appropriate condition to use a wildcard)?

    If you plan to use only one private endpoint in this DNS zone, then you can use a wildcard * as the record name.

Wonder if this change also needs to be made to the GCP and AWS instructions, which also use wildcards

This looks like a great update to the docs, but I'd let Engineers confirm the new steps are 100% accurate.
