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

Use virtual network links to link global Private DNS Zones to VNETs in two or more regions
Impact:HighCategory:High Availability
APRL GUID:a2341513-2ab8-4aa1-b100-302e54640f18
Description:
DNS private zones are resilient to regional outages because zone data is globally available. Resource records in a private zone are automatically replicated across regions. Linking a Private DNS Zone to VNETs in multiple regions increases availability and resiliency.
Potential Benefits:
Ensures seamless failover for DNS during a regional outage
