    Answer should be wrong. A record maps IP address and IP is here subject to change.

    From the documentation: “Some domain registrars only allow you to map subdomains when using a CNAME record, such as http://www.contoso.com, and not root names, such as contoso.com”.

    So, CNAME can be used for root domains as well, in general.

      I had this question on the exam, but the custome domain was mapped to contoso.yourdomain.com

      so only the CNAME record was needed.

      within azure there is never any needto create a record to _.azurewebsite.net. azure does this for you
