SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill documents patterns for integrating Cloudflare DNS with Azure-hosted workloads, covering AKS, ingress, and private/public DNS considerations.

Core Features & Use Cases

Azure patterns: AKS integration design with workload identity, DNS zone permissions, and external-dns usage.
DNS security tips: RBAC and least-privilege guidance.
Kubernetes integration: Ingress + Cloudflare-proxied records strategies.

Quick Start

Configure an AKS cluster to publish DNS records to a Cloudflare zone using workload identity and an API token.

FAQPage Schema

How do I configure Cloudflare DNS for Azure-hosted applications?▼

Cloudflare DNS integrates with Azure workloads by designating Cloudflare as the authoritative DNS provider. Set up an API token, configure Azure DNS zones with Cloudflare nameservers, and manage records via REST API. External-DNS on AKS automates record synchronization between your cluster and Cloudflare zones.

Can I use Cloudflare DNS with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)?▼

Yes. AKS integrates with Cloudflare DNS through workload identity and External-DNS. Configure workload identity to authenticate with Cloudflare, grant DNS zone permissions, and deploy External-DNS to automatically publish ingress records to your Cloudflare zone.

What are the DNS security best practices for Azure and Cloudflare integration?▼

Apply least-privilege principles: create API tokens with minimal required scopes, restrict DNS zone permissions via RBAC, rotate credentials regularly, and verify token access. Implement proxy settings to protect origin IPs and monitor record changes for unauthorized modifications.

How do I manage Cloudflare DNS records from AKS ingress?▼

Deploy External-DNS on your AKS cluster with Cloudflare provider credentials. External-DNS watches ingress resources and automatically creates or updates corresponding DNS records in Cloudflare. Configure ingress annotations to specify target DNS names and proxy behavior.

What's the difference between public and private DNS with Cloudflare and Azure?▼

Public DNS uses Cloudflare as authoritative DNS for external domain resolution with proxy protection. Private DNS keeps records internal to Azure Virtual Networks. Choose based on exposure: use public DNS for customer-facing endpoints, private DNS for internal service discovery.

How do I verify my Cloudflare API token works with Azure DNS operations?▼

Test token verification by making a REST API call to Cloudflare's authentication endpoint or performing a read operation on your DNS zone. Confirm the token has correct permissions for DNS record CRUD operations, zone access, and workload identity binding before deploying to production.
