Setting Up a Custom Domain for Azure Services Through the Azure Portal

Setting up a Custom Domain for Azure Services

To set up a custom domain for Azure services using Pulumi, you will need to create an Azure DNS Zone and then configure the appropriate DNS records. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step.

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Create an Azure DNS Zone: This will be the container for your DNS records.
2. Create DNS Records: Add the necessary DNS records to the DNS zone to point to your Azure services.
3. Verify the Custom Domain: Ensure that the custom domain is correctly pointing to your Azure services.

Summary

By following these steps, you can successfully set up a custom domain for your Azure services using Pulumi. This involves creating a DNS zone and adding the necessary DNS records. Once configured, your custom domain will be pointing to your Azure services.

Example Code

The following example demonstrates how to set up a custom domain for an Azure service using Pulumi in TypeScript. This example assumes you have already set up your Pulumi project and configured your Azure provider.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as azure from "@pulumi/azure";

// Create an Azure Resource Group
const resourceGroup = new azure.core.ResourceGroup("exampleResourceGroup", {
    location: "West US",
});

// Create an Azure DNS Zone
const dnsZone = new azure.dns.Zone("exampleDnsZone", {
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    name: "example.com",
});

// Create a DNS A Record
const dnsARecord = new azure.dns.ARecord("exampleARecord", {
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    zoneName: dnsZone.name,
    name: "www",
    ttl: 300,
    records: ["<IP_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_AZURE_SERVICE>"],
});

// Create a DNS CNAME Record
const dnsCnameRecord = new azure.dns.CNameRecord("exampleCnameRecord", {
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    zoneName: dnsZone.name,
    name: "app",
    ttl: 300,
    target: "<YOUR_AZURE_SERVICE_URL>",
});

export const dnsZoneName = dnsZone.name;
export const dnsARecordName = dnsARecord.name;
export const dnsCnameRecordName = dnsCnameRecord.name;

Conclusion

Setting up a custom domain for your Azure services involves creating a DNS zone and configuring DNS records. Using Pulumi, you can automate this process and manage your infrastructure as code. The provided example demonstrates how to achieve this in TypeScript.

Full Code Example

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as azure from "@pulumi/azure-native";

// Create an Azure Resource Group
const resourceGroup = new azure.resources.ResourceGroup("exampleResourceGroup", {
    location: "West US",
});

// Create an Azure DNS Zone
const dnsZone = new azure.network.Zone("exampleDnsZone", {
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    zoneName: "example.com",
});

// Create a DNS A Record
const dnsARecord = new azure.network.RecordSet("exampleARecord", {
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    zoneName: dnsZone.name,
    relativeRecordSetName: "www",
    ttl: 300,
    recordType: "A",
    aRecords: [{ ipv4Address: "<IP_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_AZURE_SERVICE>" }],
});

// Create a DNS CNAME Record
const dnsCnameRecord = new azure.network.RecordSet("exampleCnameRecord", {
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    zoneName: dnsZone.name,
    relativeRecordSetName: "app",
    ttl: 300,
    recordType: "CNAME",
    cnameRecord: { cname: "<YOUR_AZURE_SERVICE_URL>" },
});

export const dnsZoneName = dnsZone.name;
export const dnsARecordName = dnsARecord.name;
export const dnsCnameRecordName = dnsCnameRecord.name;
