Azure DNS is Microsoft's managed authoritative DNS hosting service running on Azure's global anycast network for teams managing DNS in the Azure ecosystem. It supports DNSSEC and includes DDoS protection through Azure's protection services. Pricing is usage-based per zone and per query rather than a fixed monthly fee, with no free tier. Advanced traffic steering is handled by a separate product, Azure Traffic Manager, rather than within Azure DNS itself. Available since around 2015, it carries SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS attestations and fits teams operating within Azure.
