Description

Azure DNS now supports alias records for DNS zones. This feature allows customers to reference other Azure resources from within their DNS zones such that the DNS records get updated automatically when there is a lifecycle event on the referenced Azure resources. At launch, we support alias record references to two Azure resources: public IP and Azure Traffic Manager.  

 

This feature also allows customers to directly run a load-balanced application at their DNS zone apex.
