Automating the tasks

Let's automate the manual tasks that have been implemented so far.

Creating an Azure DNS zone using PowerShell

Creating an Azure DNS zone using PowerShell is pretty easy, you only need to run the following cmdlet:

New-AzureRmDnsZone -Name Gamezakhana.com -ResourceGroupName PacktPub

Creating an Azure DNS zone using Azure CLI 2.0

Like PowerShell, you can create an Azure DNS zone using Azure CLI 2.0 with only one command:

az network dns zone create --resource-group PacktPub --name Gamezakhana.com

Creating an Azure DNS record using PowerShell

To create an Azure DNS record using PowerShell, you need to create the RecordConfig and store it within a variable by running the following cmdlet:

$RecordConfig = New-AzureRmDnsRecordConfig -IPv4Address "192.168.1.55"

Then, you can create the record by running the following cmdlet:

New-AzureRmDnsRecordSet -Name www -RecordType A -ZoneName Gamezakhana.com -ResourceGroupName PacktPub -Ttl 3600 -DnsRecords $RecordConfig

Remember that the TTL is expressed...
