Leon Welicki: Hello there and thank you very much for
joining us today in this new Azure Portal How To video.
Today we learned how to create an App Service domain
in the Azure portal and for that we have Yutang Lin, who’s
going to show us how to do it. So, thank you very much
for joining us, Yutang.
Yutang Lin: Hello, Leon. Thank you so much for having
me. And hello, everyone out there. I hope today you are
as excited as I am in learning about how to create an
App Service domain on the Azure portal. So before we
begin, let me give a you quick background on what an
App Service domain is. So, an App Service domain is
another resource on Azure where our users can be able to
create and to manage domains that are hosted on the
Azure DNS with just very simple click of buttons and
what not through the Azure portal. So, I hope you are
all ready, and let’s now begin to the demo.
So as you can see, right now we are on our Azure portal
and to be able to create an App Service domain, all we
have to do is click on the resource. Right here, I already
have my App Service domain just because I probably
click it a lot of times and I love this resource so much,
but let me show you how you can create it if you don’t
see the resource on the very top bar. So, go ahead
and create a resource and then let’s type in App Service
domain. So, right now you probably see two different kind
of App Service domain. Don’t worry. These both are just
exact same things. The
reason why I want this in preview
is because we recently just launched a new create
experience for an App Service domain, so why not let’s
go ahead and try the new version right now?
So, let’s go and click create. To create an App Service
domain, it is very simple. All you have to do is just
find what subscription you would like and what resource
group you would like to
create it in. So for mine, I would
like to create it in the Azure How To Resource Group
just because I think it’s very fitting. And now, let’s
search for a domain. So if you want to look for a domain,
you can be as creative as you want, blueberry muffin,
potatoes.com if you like, that’s totally fine because it’s
your domain, so you have the power. So for me, the
domain I want to create is ilovebreakfast.com. just
because breakfast is a
fantastic meal today, so why not?
And then now, we are doing some loading just because
you want to be able to find out what domains are
available for our users to look for and what they can
purchase. So, you probably don’t see the
ilovebreakfast.com that I typed here on the list just
because this means this domain is not available for
purchase. However, we make sure we provide other
recommendations that are available for user based
from the domain that you’ve put down on the search
bar. So, I will just go ahead and click iluvbreakfast
with a U because this is very close to what I want in
the first place. And let’s go ahead and click on contact
information. So in this part of the page, you want to
make sure you fill out all the required fields, as this is
also required by the ICAN. So, I won’t fill this out just
because it might take a while for me to just go through
everything, so let’s just get this portion. But make
sure you do fill this out, as it is required. If you’re
concerned about privacy and whatnot, don’t worry.
I will go through that in a bit in the next tab.
So, now in the advanced section, as you can see, we have
two different options for you. One is the autorenewal and
one the privacy protection. And first, let’s talk about
autorenewal. So, a lot of times when your domain is
about to expire and you forget to renew your domain,
you risk a very high chance of losing that domain. So,
in order for us to avoid customers going through this
problem, we just give them the option to do autorenew
so we always makes sure the domain gets renewed and
you would never to risk losing your domain again.
It’s a really great solution to a problem. And the next
one is a privacy protection. So as I mentioned previously,
all that contact information you’ve posted, you’re probably
really concerned, like is this safe for me to put all my
contact information online just because this is going to
be part of like a public who is database. Don’t worry.
This is why we have privacy protection. If you click enable,
what you let us do is that we’re going to hide all your
contact information from the public who is database
and not to mention this privacy protection comes at
no additional cost for you, so why not and just go
ahead and enable it, as this is a great perk of having
an App Service domain with Azure.
So, with both these enabled, let’s go ahead and click
on the review create. Right now, you probably see a
failed validation just because I have not entered
any of my contact information. But I have a pre-example
right here. So if you have correctly filled out everything,
you will not be able to see that failed validation and
all we have to do is click on create and then you’ll be
able to create your App Service domains.
So, right now this is how
it’ll look like for your resource
view for your App Service domain. As you can see,
this one, onedomainwonder.com, is a domain that
I’ve just created. So if you, for example, create a domain
that’s blueberrycheescake.com, it’s going to show up
right here. One important part of this resource page
is the manage DNS records. This is where you’ll be
able to update all of your different DNS records. As you
can see, just do updates right here within the Azure
portal, and you’re able to set up your domains now
going forward. And this is the very easy way of how
you can create and manage your cousin domains on
Azure portal. Let me take it back to you, Leon.
