When publishing (extended support) my cloud service project, there is no place to specified my custom DNS name, so the name assigned would be

NameOfCloudService.Location.cloudapp.asure.com

How do I change to something like myapplication.azure.com

Azure Cloud Services

    The normal way to achieve this is for you to buy a custom domain, and then configure the DNS settings on your domain to point to NameOfCloudService.Location.cloudapp.asure.com

    This part of the documentation shows how to do it with CNAMEs: https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/cloud-services/cloud-services-custom-domain-name-portal#add-a-cname-record-for-your-custom-domain

    Hello 79617847

    Adding to previous response from AirGordon.

    For a custom DNS name, likely you need a DNS zone delegated from the main azure.com, and then you can add CNAME records after the cloud service deployment. 

    For example, you can create a team zone like *.TeamName.azure.com and each cloud service can have a CNAME record NameOfCloudService.TeamName.azure.com --> NameOfCloudService.Location.cloudapp.azure.com .

    Hope this helps.
