11. A client must be able to resolve the name of the cloud service, which requires a Domain
Name System (DNS) alias and a CNAME record in your DNS namespace.
Client Settings
Clients that use cloud-based distribution points use the following sequence for content location requests:
1. Content from a preferred distribution point first.
2. Remote distribution point, if the deployment supports this option and if a remote distribution point is available.
3. Then it will fallback to obtain the content from a cloud-based distribution point.

15. Log files that cloud
service manager
sync from Azure
storage every five
minutes. The cloud
management
gateway pushes
logs to Azure
storage every five
minutes. So the
maximum delay is
10 minutes. Verbose
switches affect both
local and remote
logs. The actual file
names include the
service name and
role instance
identifier. For
example, CMG-
