Description

Azure Static Web Apps introduces the ability to add an APEX custom domain with an `A` record to enable the use of domain registrars that do not support `ALIAS` record, `ANAME` record and `CNAME` flattening. 

Using an `A` record directs your traffic to a single host of your Azure Static Web Apps resource, so your application no longer benefits from its global distribution, which may affect your application performance if your traffic is global.
