Azure DNS
Host your Domain Name System (DNS) domain in Azure.
OVERVIEW
Unified DNS management for your cloud and hybrid environments
- Manage your DNS records using the same credentials, as well as billing and support contract, as your other Azure services. Seamlessly integrate Azure services with corresponding cloud DNS updates and streamline your end-to-end deployment process.
- Get faster responses to DNS queries with a global network of name servers. Anycast networking allows DNS queries to automatically route to the closest name servers for the best possible performance.
- Get ultra-high availability for your domains with the scale and redundancy of the Microsoft global network of name servers.
- Use your DNS records right away. When you add a new DNS record, the Azure DNS name servers are updated in a just a few seconds.
- Azure DNS private zones provide a simple, reliable, secure DNS service to manage and resolve names in a virtual network without the need to create and manage a custom DNS solution. Use your own domain names and get name resolution for virtual machines within and between virtual networks. Additionally, configure zone names with a split-horizon view to allow a private and a public DNS zone to share the same name.
- Azure DNS Private Resolver provides a simple, secure, zero‑maintenance way to resolve and forward DNS queries across Azure and on‑premises, enabling seamless private DNS and hybrid networking.
- Use industry best-of-breed DNS appliances in Azure with easy configuration and management, plus scalable, highly available deployment.
- Use the brands you know and the skills you have to bring advanced DNS capabilities, such as DNS filtering for security, to your virtual network.
- Add advanced DNS security to your virtual network by deploying a DNS firewall, and help mitigate DNS-related security issues such as Phishing and Data Exfiltration.
