Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) private clusters now support Public DNS as a name resolution option. This capability simplifies name resolution to your AKS clusters by creating a public DNS record associated to the private IP of the Kubernetes API server, which remains non-publicly routable. 


Now you can create a private AKS cluster with Private DNS Zone, Custom Private DNS Zone, or with a Public FQDN. 


Learn about these new capabilities and how to configure them here.
