Configuring DNS for Public IPs of Azure VMs

Module 7: Assignment - 3

Tasks To Be Performed:

1. For the two VMs deployed previously configure DNS for the public IPs of the VM

Using VMs previously deployed in Module7: Assignment 1

Step 1: Configure DNS Name for the Public IP of VM1 §

1. I Go to the Public IP Resource:

   • In the Azure Portal, I navigate to the “Public IP addresses” section.
   • I locate the public IP resource associated with VM1.

2. I Configure the DNS Name:

   • I select the public IP resource to open its properties.

   • In the “Configuration” settings, I find the “DNS name label” section.

   • I enter a unique DNS name label for VM1. This label, combined with the location’s DNS suffix, will form the fully qualified DNS name. For example, if I enter myvm1, the full DNS name will be myvm1.<region>.cloudapp.azure.com.
     

     thisisvm1.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com

3. I Save the Configuration:

   • I save the changes to apply the DNS name label to the public IP.

Step 2: Configure DNS Name for the Public IP of VM2 §

1. I Repeat the Process for VM2:
   • Similarly, I find the public IP resource for VM2.
   • In the configuration settings, I set a unique DNS name label for VM2, for example, myvm2.
   • I save the changes to apply the new DNS name.

thisisvm2.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com

Step 3: Test the DNS Configuration §
