# DNS configuration for Private Link access

To access the dedicated instance over Azure Private Link, you must configure DNS so the service hostname resolves to your
private endpoint's private IP address.

Because TLS is terminated using a provider-managed certificate, clients must connect using the exact service hostname provided.
However, DNS resolution must direct that hostname to a private IP inside your network, as follows:

1. Create a private DNS zone that matches the service hostname.

   For example, if the service hostname is `example.privatelink.unstructuredapp.io`, the private DNS zone would be
   `privatelink.unstructuredapp.io`.

2. Add a DNS record for the service hostname: create an A record for the full service hostname that points to the private IP address
   of your private endpoint.

   For example, `example.privatelink.unstructuredapp.io` would point to `10.12.34.56`.

3. Link the DNS zone to your Azure Virtual Networks (VNets): ensure the private DNS zone is linked to the VNets where clients will access the service.
