Migration of custom domain

You can avoid DNS resolution downtime by binding the active DNS name to your app as described in a data-linktype=”relative-path” href=”https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app service/manage_custom_dns_migrate_domain.” By securing the DNS name of your app to the DNS name that is currently active, you can avoid DNS resolution interruptions.
