Preparing a Private DNS Zone

Required permissions: create private DNS zone. You will also need a link to the virtual network.

To prepare the private DNS zone:

  1. Set your main resource group name to an environment variable, for example:
    RESOURCE_GROUP=srg-demo
  2. Create the private-dns zone (for example, arcsight.private.com) in your resource group by running the command:
    az network private-dns zone create -g $RESOURCE_GROUP -n arcsight.private.com
 You can use another zone name in place of arcsight.private.com, but you must use the same DNS suffix for the --external-access-host argument during CDF installation.
  1. Link the private-dns zone with your virtual network by running the command:
    az network private-dns link vnet create \
    -g $RESOURCE_GROUP \
    -n DNSLink \
    -z arcsight.private.com \
    -v <your virtual network, such as demo-vnet> \
    -e false
