Right now to create a custom domain you have to setup a cname for verification, and then you have to setup your real record, and then you can finally after that go and add it to the site.
I'm doing this scripted with C# and that's tedious considering that we're hosting our DNS with Azure. I would have thought that I could have added an a record to Azure and then add it directly to the website automatically but I can't figure out how to do this.
Anyone have any suggestions on how I can skip the whole Cname creation stuff?
Thanks!
Did you purchase a custom domain through Azure Web Apps?

If you did, then everything should get automatically setup properly.
If you didn't, then you'll need to do the work to set it all up yourself.

DO you have to have a CNAME and hosting to work on SCA locally? It appears so, I could be wrong, Im just wondering if there is any way to get around this using alternate hosting methods like Azure App Services or CDN's
You should be able to add any domain you want in NetSuite. As long as your hosts file points to it, along with the NetSuite IP, you'll be able to access it via that domain.
You don't need to purchase a domain to access it, provided it's a host file entry :)
I'd like to consider this Azure feature:

But it won't be of much use to me if I'm unable to configure a custom domain for it. I'm having no problem with custom domains for standard App Service websites, but this is for containers.
I've tried searching for documentation, but I'm coming up empty.
--EDIT--
The technology I'm interested in is Web Apps for Containers; thanks to #sam-cogan for pointing this out to me.
I believe the video is talking about Azure Web Apps for Containers (I would really recommend not asking people to watch a 30-minute video to understand your question). Assuming that is the case, then adding a custom domain name is the same as setting one up for a normal app service, you can do so through the custom domain name settings in the portal. The process is documented here.
If you're looking to use a different service in Azure for hosting containers then please state which one and I will update. All of these can have custom domain names.
Azure Container Instances usually provide a public IP address, so pointing a domain name to it should not be a problem.
You could map either an A record or a CNAME to your instance.
There is no difference between configuring custom domain for normal web apps and web for container. I have tried below document and it is worked well.

I have a multi-site application running on Azure Websites. When a user signs up, they pick a name for their application and they end up with "appname.coolapplication.com". Everything so far is working great within our own domain.
Our application needs to allow users to enter their own custom domain. For example, they want to view their application from "elsewhere.com" rather than "appname.coolapplication.com". How do I go about configuring Azure Websites to allow me to do this?
You don't. Per these instructions you instruct the customer to enter a CNAME record on their domain registrar for the Azure domain, and then it begins to work.
EDIT:
The CNAME only "just works" for Azure Cloud Apps. For Azure Websites, it turns out you must add the domain in the portal as well. I'd thus recommend switching your Azure Websites to Azure Cloud Apps to simplify the issue.
You can use the powershell api to add custom hostnames.
See this question for details: Add many domains to an azure web site
I am trying to create a multitenant Azure website which is a way for people to sign up and get their sub-domains. I have followed the instructions in here (http://www.stratospher.es/blog/post/wildcard-subdomains-in-windows-azure) and manage to get all *.mydomain.com CNAME to mydomain.azurewebsites.net according to (http://www.digwebinterface.com/)
Here is the problem
if I go to tenant1.mydomain.com I'll get the 404 server error. However if I log in to Azure and go to my website Manage custom domains and add the tenant1.mydomain.com then everything would work fine.
The idea behind the wildcard is I can add tenant pragmatically/dynamically. Is there anyway to automated this process or add a wildcard in the azure Manage custom domains. Is there any difference between app cloud service and website?
Thanks for your help
Update
I end up using cloud services instead of websites. You don't need to configure the custom domain names in the control panel anymore. Just simply point cname and your good to go.
Did you check out the use of Amazon Route 53 to configure the domain mapping in Azure, it seems that there are options.
Please refer the following links

Add custom Domain to azurewebsite
Hope I explain this clearly enough. I am migrating a web application to azure. I have it setup so far as an aspx web application and a sql server database. The site is hosted (don't know if that's the correct term) in a cloud service (which I deployed using Visual Studio). Everything works great so far. What I want to do now is add a WP blog. I have created on as a test and it's really easy as an azure website.
What I want to do is this: If my custom domain is www.site.com and that points to the cloud service web role, can I create a WP blog as a separate azure website at myblog.azurewebsites.net and somehow point a virtual at that so that www.site.com/blog will point to the blog website? I know how to add a domain to the website, just not sure how to do the virtual part...
Thanks for any suggestions!

As far as I know, NO, unless you can modify the BLOG's code to keep rewriting URL's to make it look like www.site.com/blog
Simpler alternative: implement a blog.site.com instead of www.site.com/blog and map it to your blog on Azure sites. You can also setup a redirect to work from www.site/com/blog to go to blog.site.com
