APRL GUID: 1e02335c-1f90-fd4e-a5a5-d359c7b22d70
Description:
For business continuity scenarios with a low recovery time objective (RTO), ensure that distinct regional production and disaster recovery (DR) Private DNS Zones are configured and have identical workload and resource DNS entries. This keeps DNS resolution consistent across both zones.
Potential Benefits:
Ensures seamless failover for DNS during a regional outage

Ensure Time-To-Live (TTL) is set appropriately to ensure RTOs can be met
Impact: Medium Category: Disaster Recovery
APRL GUID: 3538aa48-c40b-455b-a93b-269fe6e65be2
Description:
Azure Private DNS allows the Time-To-Live (TTL) for record sets in the zone to be set to a value between 1 and 2147483647 seconds. You should ensure that the TTL for the DNS record sets in your DNS Zones are set appropriately to meet your RTO targets.
Potential Benefits:
Ensures that no cached DNS records exist past RTO targets
