Wordpress multisite configuration working with subdomains

Question

Hello! I´m working with a bitnami certified multisite wordpress.
The documentation I am using is as follows:

1. https://docs.bitnami.com/general/apps/wordpress-multisite/configuration/configure-wordpress-multisite/
2. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dns/dns-domain-delegation
3. https://learn.microsoft.com/es-mx/azure/dns/dns-delegate-domain-azure-dns#delegate-the-domain

According to the bitnami documentation the process I am following is the following.

1. In the Microsoft azure control panel, the domain name of the new virtual machine was assigned.
2. Configuration of the main domain. The following commands have been run in the / opt / bitnami / apps / wordpress directory: sudo .bn / config --machine_hostname our-planets.com sudo mv bnconfig bnconfig.disabled
3. The problem is: add an A record that points to the previously defined domain to the static IP address of our cloud server.

I dont know how to delegate the domain within microsoft azure. Can anyone here support me with this? Please.

I also tried setting WordPress Multisite to use subdirectories instead of subdomains (https://docs.bitnami.com/general/apps/wordpress-multisite/administration/use-directories/) but I am having trouble running the command sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache to restart apache

There is a difference between the Domain Name Label of a Public IP Address and Azure DNS. The domain name label of a public IP address only allows you to configure a prefix to the azure-assigned DNS name of your IP address. You cannot create any records on the public IP address.

Azure DNS allows you to configure an existing DNS record set on the Azure platform. Azure does not sell domain names, so you will need to get your domain from a 3rd party (like godaddy). You can then configure the records on the 3rd party platform, or delegate the DNS to Azure so that you can manage the records on the azure platform.
