I tried to understand how DNS works and how it is implemented in the cloud.
I went through the documentation of AWS and Azure to understand how DNS works in the cloud.

Try yourself

I tried to create a DNS zone in Azure and AWS and tried to understand how it works.
You can follow the documentation of Azure and AWS to create a DNS zone.
