Authoritative DNS hosting on Azure

Official documentation (opens in a new tab)

Overview

Azure DNS hosts DNS zones and records with Azure RBAC—integrated into Bicep, Pulumi, and Azure DevOps pipelines that provision App Service, CDN, API Management, and Kubernetes ingress endpoints.

ConnectSoft automates record creation for environment-specific subdomains (api.staging, app.prod) so certificate validation and cutovers stay repeatable.

We coordinate with client registrars and hybrid DNS when split-horizon or on-premises resolvers are involved.

Reliable DNS is infrastructure—not a ticket for launch week—and we treat it as part of every Azure landing zone.'

Why we use it:

  • Zones and records defined in IaC
  • Aligned with App Service and CDN custom domains
  • TTL and failover patterns documented
  • RBAC least privilege on zone contributors
  • Supports ACME and managed certificate validation
  • Separate zones per environment where required
  • Change control integrated with release pipelines
