Scenario:
Your organization requires workloads to use domain names instead of IP addresses for internal communications. The organization doesn’t want to add a custom DNS solution. You identify these requirements.
. A private DNS zone is required for contoso.com.
. The DNS will use a virtual network link to app-vnet.
. A new DNS record is required for the backend subnet.
Skilling tasks:
. Create and configure a private DNS zone.
. Create and configure DNS records.
. Configure DNS settings on a virtual network.
Architecture diagram:
Azure Private DNS provides a reliable, secure DNS service to manage and resolve domain names in a virtual network without the need to add a custom DNS solution. By using private DNS zones, you can use your own custom domain names rather than the Azure-provided names.
No 1. Create a private DNS zone.
i. On the Azure portal, search for and select Private DNS zones.
ii. Select + Create and configure the DNS zone.
iii. Select Review + create and then select Create.
v. Wait for the DNS zone to deploy, and then select Go to resource.
No 2. Create a virtual network link to your private DNS zone.
Note: To resolve DNS records in a private DNS zone, resources must be linked to the private zone. A virtual network link associates the virtual network to the private zone.
i. In the portal, continue working on the private.contoso.com DNS zone.
ii. In the DNS Management blade, select + Virtual network links.
iii. Select + Add” and configure the virtual network link.
iv. Select Create and wait for the deployment to finish. If necessary, Refresh the page.
No 3. Create a DNS record set.
Note: DNS records provide information about the DNS zone.
i. In the portal, continue working on the private.contoso.com DNS zone.
ii. In the DNS Management blade, select + Recordsets.
iii. Notice that two A records have automatically been created for each of the virtual machines.
iv. Select + Add and configure a record set. When finished select Add.
Note: This record set implies there is a virtual machine in app-vnet with a private IP address of 10.1.1.5.

Solid approach. I might try this on my next project.
