A useful feature I've seen used in a few places and are particularly useful for routing your whole setup to a CDN are ANAME records.
From a few places I've seen, ANAME / ALIAS records are 'like' CNAME records, but the DNS server itself returns the IP addresses (instead of a CNAME pointer). One place this works well is the apex domain.
Effectively ANAME == dynamic A record that can have more than one IP address associated.
