Hands-On Azure Labs: Building Redundant Cloud Solutions

Lab Overview

In this lab, you will map a custom domain to your Azure Front Door CDN endpoint, ensuring that your content is served from a professional and branded domain rather than a default Azure-supplied hostname. You’ll create a CNAME record in DNS and validate the domain in Azure Front Door, finalizing a user-friendly address for your globally distributed static content.

Learning Objectives

• • Create a DNS CNAME record to map your domain to the AFD endpoint.
  • Validate and enable HTTPS on the custom domain for secure content delivery.
  • Understand domain verification processes to confirm ownership.
  • Maintain consistent branding for all publicly accessible resources under your custom domain.

Exam Relevance

• • AZ-104 (Azure Administrator): Demonstrates proficiency in integrating Azure services with custom DNS records and secure endpoints.
  • AZ-305 (Azure Solutions Architect): Highlights the ability to design professional, user-friendly cloud services that incorporate custom domains and SSL/TLS for global reach and security.
