How to export DNS records from GoDaddy to Azure (CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV)

Question

I have a domain in Godaddy and previously I have deployed website in Godaddy itself. Now I am moving to aazure. I have created a DNS Zone there are about 9 entries in existing GoDaddy DNS record. I tried to replicate it Azure, but somehow it is not working. Is there a way to import all the settings from the GoDaddy directly to azure

@Developer

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

I understand that you would like to migrate from a third party DNS service provider to Azure for DNS Management.

Unfortunately, at present, there are no direct integration available to import a DNS zone from a vendor.

However, importing from a .txt file is supported.

Refer : Import a DNS zone file into Azure DNS

Make sure you go through

• Merge behavior
• Additional information about importing

So the steps involved would be,

• Export the Zone records to a .txt file from your DNS provider.
  • Please refer to their documentation or any wikis/forums of the third party
  • I found this : Export my domain's zone file records, please verify yourself once.
• Post this,
  • Follow the CLI commands here : CLI format and values
  • Please note, Azure DNS supports importing and exporting zone files via the Azure CLI only. Importing zone files via Azure PowerShell or the Azure portal is not supported currently.
• Verify the zone from Portal or Verify zone commands
• Then delegate the DNS Domain to Azure
  • For GoDaddy Edit my domain nameservers

Kindly let us know if this helps or you need further assistance on this issue.

Thanks,
