Implement DNS for Windows Server IaaS VMs
This module covers how to implement DNS for Windows Server IaaS virtual machines in Azure. You learn how to describe Azure DNS including its anycast network, RBAC integration, and current limitations such as the lack of DNSSEC support, configure Azure public DNS zones with delegation and record sets, implement Azure private DNS zones with VNet linking and autoregistration for VM host records, deploy Windows Server DNS in Azure IaaS VMs for AD DS-integrated scenarios, implement split-horizon DNS to serve different records for internal and external clients, and troubleshoot DNS issues in Azure environments.
