Azure DNS
Azure DNS is a high-performance domain name system service hosted on Microsoft’s global network. It uses a distributed set of name servers to ensure ultra-high availability and performance for hosting your domains and applications. This service allows DevOps teams to manage DNS records efficiently while relying on the underlying infrastructure’s scale and redundancy to maintain consistent uptime for their online services.
You should choose this solution when you need a reliable DNS hosting environment integrated with the Azure ecosystem. However, be aware that there is no free tier available for this service. Instead, it operates on a pay-as-you-go pricing model, meaning you will incur costs based on actual usage without any initial free allowance to offset early expenses or low-volume testing.
