How to setup Azure CNAME

Question

I am setting up a VPS on Azure and am stuck at configing the CNAME. The site is registered with a 3rd party.

I have setup the following:

NAME TYPE  TTL   VALUE
@    NS    120   ns1-01.azure-dns.com ... etc
@    SOA   3600  azuredns...
www  CNAME 3600

I am stuck at what to put for the CNAME value. At https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service-web/web-sites-custom-domain-name it mentions using

myapp.azurewebsites.net 

however for another VPS on azure I am using

otherapp.location.cloudapp.azure.com

In the azure docs they show how to find ip details for a hosted webapp https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service-web/web-sites-godaddy-custom-domain-name but no mention on how to find for a hosted VPS.

Any idea where can I find the details for what I should use?

If you just want to map your domain name for this Azure VM, we can add CNAME to the third party follow those steps:
1.Add FQDN to this VM first(configure this with Azure public IP):

2.login your 3rd party domain register configure page, then add CNAME like this:

Host          type                value
xxxxx         CNAME              jasontest321.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com
