Azure Private DNS provides a reliable, secure DNS service to manage and resolve domain names in a virtual network without the need to add a custom DNS solution. By using private DNS zones, you can use your own custom domain names rather than the Azure-provided names
What Azure DNS Private Zones allows you to do is use host the DNS for your internal domain names on Azure without the need for a dedicated virtual machine (VM) to resolve your traffic.
You can assign the private DNS zone to a virtual network and as a result you can set up your DNS how you need to without it being exposed externally. And private DNS zones can be shared between virtual networks allowing you to simply cross-network architecture within your environment.
The records contained in a private DNS zone are not resolvable from the Internet. DNS resolution against a private DNS zone works only from virtual networks that are linked to it.
If you want to get some context on how it can be used within your own environment, take a look at the Azure DNS Private zones scenario documentation that is available.
