Hi @Krishnamoorthy Hegde ,

if I got your question right you want to add https:// to you FQDN somename.southindia.cloudapp.azure.com in DNS?

That's not possible (as far as I know). I am pretty sure a : and the / aren't allowed characters in the DNS name space for an FQDN.

https://somename.southindia.cloudapp.azure.com is an URL/URI. The https: is the URI scheme and somename.southindia.cloudapp.azure.com is the path of an URL/URI.

A Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) is based on the DNS name space:

• host (A Record) = somename.
• subdomain = soutindia
• subdomain = cloudapp
• subdomain = azure
• top-level domain = com
