Simple DNS forwarder for Azure VNET

This is a conatiner image of simple DNS forwarder, which works on Azure Container Instances, for Azure VNET.

Background

As this documentation describes, it is needed to use DNS forwarder in order that client PCs which connects to the VNET via ExpressRoute / P2S VPN and so on use Azure Private DNS Zone. This is because the Private DNS Zone can be used only for name resolution query from nodes in the VNET.

How to use

This image is based on distroless and contains only dnsmasq for forwarding DNS queries.

If you want to this on Azure Container Instances(ACI) in your Virtual Network, please take care the following points on deployment.
