Documentation

azure-private-dns

Azure Private DNS zone with virtual-network links and optional record sets — private name resolution for VNets, Private Endpoints and split-horizon internal domains, done right. The module is self-contained: by default it creates its own resource group and a virtual network, the private DNS zone, the zone⇄VNet link, and any A/CNAME records you declare. One tofu apply yields a resolvable private zone; tofu destroy removes everything (including the resource group).

Secure by default: private DNS zones are inherently private (resolvable only from linked VNets, never the public internet), and VM auto-registration (registration_enabled) is off unless you opt in per link. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), azurerm provider >= 4.0, < 5.0.

Security notes

  • Private DNS zones are not internet-resolvable — there is no public-access flag to harden. Records are visible only to VNets explicitly linked here.
  • Keep registration_enabled = false unless you need VM auto-registration. Azure permits auto-registration on at most one linked VNet per zone; the module does not stop you from enabling it on several, but the apply will fail.
  • For Private Endpoint integration, name the zone after the service's privatelink domain (e.g. privatelink.blob.core.windows.net) and link the consuming VNets.
  • The module owns its resource group, so destroy is clean and leaves nothing behind.
