Is Azure DNS SaaS or PaaS?
|
I would like some clarification on whether Azure VM's are strictly IaaS or can be PaaS depending on the amount responsibilities the creator/user has. Show I've seen multiple different website saying VM are ONLY IaaS since you require an operating system, and others saying VM can be PaaS if a specific OS is specified on creation. Any insight the community can provide will be very helpful, Thanks! asked May 4, 2020 at 20:41
A VM is generally considered Infrastructure-as-a-Service, as you retain responsibility for patching and managing the Virtual Machine Operating System. And even though there are Marketplace VM offerings that are completely pre-configured and even auto-updating, the responsibility for maintaining those solutions after deployment is the main way IaaS and PaaS are distinguished. At the end of the day IaaS and PaaS are not precise technical terms. You can have PaaS services that require significant configuration and ongoing maintenance, and IaaS services that are completely managed. answered May 4, 2020 at 20:48
4 VM's are IAAS (Infrastructure as a service) because on a VM you can manage what operation system runs and what software is installed. On a PAAS you only manage the software or application that runs in the cloud. (Like app services) answered Oct 5, 2020 at 15:16

Like IaaS, PaaS includes infrastructure—servers, storage, and networking—but also middleware, development tools, business intelligence (BI) services, database management systems, and more. PaaS is designed to support the complete web application lifecycle: building, testing, deploying, managing, and updating. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/overview/what-is-paas/ answered Sep 22, 2021 at 9:08
I've just been through Microsoft's AZ900 training at it states: Azure Virtual Machines (VM) are software emulations of physical computers.

NickNick 4317 silver badges16 bronze badges Azure DNS Private Resolver is a new service that enables customers to query Azure DNS private zones from an on-premises environment and vice versa without deploying VM-based DNS servers. This new service is fully-managed in Azure and in public preview. With the Azure DNS Private Resolver, customers now will be able to conditionally route domains back to on-premises across multi-cloud providers and public DNS servers without having to provision IaaS-based solutions on their virtual networks. It works for customers' existing Azure ExpressRoute, Azure VPN, or Azure Bastion setups. In addition, customers will also be able to modify their DNS settings at the Virtual Network level in a much more straightforward manner by attaching rules to each Virtual Network and enabling conditional forwarding at scale. Azure DNS Private Resolver requires a Virtual Network (VNet), and users can provision an Azure DNS Private Resolver inside of it. Subsequently, they can create one or more inbound endpoints that can be used as the DNS query destination. In addition, DNS queries are processed by the resolver's outbound endpoint using a DNS forwarding ruleset that users establish. DNS queries issued from networks connected to a ruleset can be sent to other DNS servers.

For some, the service should have come earlier, as a correspondent stated in a Reddit thread:
And Brandon Olin, staff SRE at StackOverflow, tweeted:
Currently, Azure DNS Private Resolver is available in Australia East, UK South, North Europe, South Central US, West US 3, East US, North Central US, Central US Updates Access Program (EUAP), East US 2 EUAP, West Central US, East US 2 and West Europe Azure regions. Each of these supports Availability Zones, which will aid in regional and global resiliency of customer workloads. Lastly, pricing details will follow soon.

What is Azure DNS service?Azure DNS is a hosting service for DNS domains that provides name resolution by using Microsoft Azure infrastructure. By hosting your domains in Azure, you can manage your DNS records by using the same credentials, APIs, tools, and billing as your other Azure services. You can't use Azure DNS to buy a domain name.
What is PaaS and SaaS in Azure?When talking about the topic of cloud computing services, you must have heard of these concepts, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). They are the three major service categories provided by cloud providers.
Is DNS a cloud service?Cloud DNS is a high-performance, resilient, global Domain Name System (DNS) service that publishes your domain names to the global DNS in a cost-effective way. DNS is a hierarchical distributed database that lets you store IP addresses and other data, and look them up by name.
