Azure DNS Private Zones

Azure DNS Private Zones now available in public preview | Blog | Microsoft Azure
"Private Zones obviates the need to setup and manage custom DNS servers.

You also have the flexibility to use custom domain names, such as your company’s domain name."

Azure has more granular control of placement of VMs with "Availability Sets" (essentially server racks) so it now provides more reliability features.
