Azure DNS zone

• A DNS Zone resource must be created with the same name of your domain name ()
• A DNS Zone is used to host DNS records for a particular domain
• E.g. for hvitoi.com -> mail.hvitoi.com, notes.hvitoi.com, , etc
• Azure DNS Zone does not register the domain (like a domain registrar does)
• One DNS Zone must be created per domain
• Domain provider config: Change the nameservers of the domain provider to match the azure nameservers

Record sets

• A zone has default record sets
• Name Server (NS)
• State of Authority (SOA)
• A custom zone that maps to an IP (A)
• Custom records sets can be registered
• A: app1.hvitoi.com, app2.hvitoi.com
• TXT: ...
