How do you migrate DNS from on-premises server to Azure DNS?
Answer
- Export the existing DNS settings to DNS zone files
- Import DNS zone files to Azure DNS
A DNS zone file is a text file that contains details of every Domain Name System (DNS) record in the zone. It follows a standard format, making it suitable for transferring DNS records between DNS systems. Using a zone file is a quick, reliable, and convenient way to transfer a DNS zone into or out of Azure DNS.
Azure DNS supports importing and exporting zone files by using the Azure command-line interface (CLI). Zone file import is not currently supported via Azure PowerShell or the Azure portal.
The Azure CLI is a cross-platform command-line tool used for managing Azure services. It is available for the Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms from the Azure downloads page. Cross-platform support is important for importing and exporting zone files, because the most common name server software, BIND, typically runs on Linux.
