I am trying to deploy a multi-tenant application to azure using following standalone deployment strategy.
- Create a new database for each tenant in azure elastic pool.
- Create a new app service instance for each tenant.
- Map a custom domain name for the app service instance using a domain name which already has purchased from Azure (Ex: tenantname.mydomain.com)
I am trying to do this using following ARM template (To reduce the complexity I have mentioned only the related area of the template)

}
Deployment fails with the error "A CNAME record pointing from mydomain.finapsl.com to {1} was not found. Alternative record awverify.mydomain.finapsl.com to awverify.finaptestwebsite2.azurewebsites.net was not found either."
Is it not possible to bind a custom domain name to an azure app service in this way? Your help is highly appreciated to solve this issue. I have been trying this more than two days.
