Azure DNS Private Resolver is a new service that enables you to query Azure DNS private zones from an on-premises environment and vice versa without deploying VM based DNS servers. ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01gz4y000d6b1q4q7q0ma5esyn))

ully managed: Built-in high availability, zone redundancy ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01gz4y0wcn515dqtcfn5nnew62))

Cost reduction: Reduce operating costs and run at a fraction of the price of traditional IaaS solutions. ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01gz4y13yw982vegxpwasqpwwk))

Private access to your Private DNS zones: Conditionally forward to and from on-premises. ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01gz4y1jsv5m2zzm4b5rhpfxwx))

Scalability: High performance per endpoint. ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01gz4y1p07ds13kx7q38wxjrt6))

DevOps Friendly: Build your pipelines with Terraform, ARM, or Bicep. ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01gz4y1vvxef1fw4ypk8zmncdv))

The inbound endpoint requires a subnet in the VNet where it’s provisioned. The subnet can only be delegated to Microsoft.Network/dnsResolvers ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01gz4y2d6vwxgyq58ms518nmg3))

A DNS forwarding rule includes one or more target DNS servers that are used for conditional forwarding, and is represented by:
• A domain name
• A target IP address
• A target Port and Protocol (UDP or TCP) ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01gz4y7c0g0vp4vswyabzvcjxf))

A DNS resolver can only reference a virtual network in the same region as the DNS resolver. ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01gz4y7n83rvqp5enyzs7wgwy5))

virtual network can't be shared between multiple DNS resolvers. A single virtual network can only be referenced by a single DNS resolver. ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01gz4y32x9h47j47wbvn4zt9my))

The following IP address space is reserved and can't be used for the DNS resolver service: 10.0.1.0 - 10.0.16.255. ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01gz4y4bneeb0m3y5jt3zex4vj))

A subnet must be a minimum of /28 address space or a maximum of /24 address space. ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01gz4y4hvb5xxdn9xn3r33wjy0))

A subnet can't be shared between multiple DNS resolver endpoints. A single subnet can only be used by a single DNS resolver endpoint ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01gz4y4s77t8b0xnbgs08szknm))

All IP configurations for a DNS resolver inbound endpoint must reference the same subnet. Spanning multiple subnets in the IP configuration for a single DNS resolver inbound endpoint isn't allowed. ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01gz4y5f2bpjka5aj6k9smwz10))

The subnet used for a DNS resolver inbound endpoint must be within the virtual network referenced by the parent DNS resolver ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01gz4y6x3t2wrcnfg15kgevx7d))

An outbound endpoint can't be deleted unless the DNS forwarding ruleset and the virtual network links under it are deleted. ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01gz4y5yvxgvdzar3wdawkg5pp))

Rulesets can have up to 1000 rules. ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01gz4y63k7s0wcyc0e9gpjagjy))

IPv6 enabled subnets aren't supported. ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01gz4y6d7ek1dxngfewmdh5a9y))

DNS private resolver does not support Azure ExpressRoute FastPath ([View Highlight] (https://read.readwise.io/read/01gz4y6q16dnzfenhme8tfh1ms))
