Correct arrangement
- Identify the host name of the storage endpoint of the website.
- Create a CNAME record awverify.contoso.com in Azure DNS.
- Set the custom domain name of storage1 to www.contoso.com.
- Create a CNAME record www.contoso.com in Azure DNS.
Explanation
The correct sequence follows Azure's indirect CNAME method for mapping a custom domain to a static website without downtime: first identify the storage endpoint hostname, then create an interim 'awverify' CNAME record in Azure DNS to prove domain ownership without disrupting the live site, then set the custom domain on the storage account, and finally create the www CNAME record pointing to the storage endpoint. The 'awverify' subdomain is Azure's mechanism to validate domain ownership before the actual cutover, ensuring the website remains accessible throughout the process. An A record is not used here because static website endpoints use hostnames (not IPs), requiring CNAME records for proper DNS resolution.
