Publish DNS

[linusjody]

Hi, it's unclear how we publish this publicly. Is there a CNAME or IP that we can use?

+1 on this. We have virtual IP in overview tab, what do we pont our various custom hostnames to?

Would be great with an update of this documentation

IP is quite safe to use as it's static though the lifetime of the subscription, with a few exceptions. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-faq#is-the-api-management-gateway-ip-address-constant-can-i-use-it-in-firewall-rules

[linusjody]

We have used CNAME records resolving to the Azure assigned endpoint names, e.g. proxy.azure-api.net, which allows us to have a custom domain for both the proxy and portal A records. The static IP option only allows for proxy access as far as I can tell.

Any feedback on the steps for custom domain. Do we use CNAME's to map to the default names?

So will just a CNAME work?

[linusjody]

Hi Dan,

A CNAME works perfectly. I’m surprised that the documentation still hasn’t been updated to reflect this after 10 months,

Thanks

Nathan
