One thing that I wanted and was expecting from Akamai Edge DNS was CNAME flattening. CNAME flattening is a feature that Akamai does not support. Apart from Akamai, the other DNS providers support CNAME flattening. CNAME flattening is basically a feature to give you a short summary wherein your naked domain or naked record has CNAME associated with it. Ideally, only subdomains can have a CNAME as per the RFC protocol, but for special cases, if you want your naked domain or top-level domain to be associated with a CNAME instead of an IP, you can do it with CNAME flattening. In a way, it is good that Akamai doesn't have CNAME flattening and follows RFC protocol. It is important to consider that there are many use cases where it could have been easier to deal with them if Akamai had the feature named CNAME flattening. I would also like to see something like APEX's sentry function in Akamai Edge DNS.

These solutions involve outsourcing DNS management to specialized service providers, offering enhanced performance, security, and reliability compared to traditional, self-managed DNS systems.
The solution has a fairly complex setup with our cloud vendors, including Microsoft, Salesforce, and Oracle.
