Overview
For many developers, the Domain Name System (DNS) is simply a black box: something you rely on without knowing how it works. But when it comes to optimizing system performance and delivery, DNS is a very valuable tool indeed. If your company is ready to implement a DevOps culture, or is considering it, this practical report shows you how DNS can help you build the type of dynamic, fast-changing, and reliable system that DevOps demands.
Author Andy Still, co-founder of Intechnica, a vendor-independent IT performance consultancy, shows you how to initiate a DNS-based DevOps approach in your company. Once you understand how DNS works, you’ll learn how you can use it to streamline deployment pipelines, maximize availability, and mitigate performance degradations.
- Learn three key DevOps principles for delivering speed and reliability
- Use DNS to create flexible systems that support changing backend systems, and systems hosted in multiple locations
- Get advice for selecting a DNS provider, and for implementing an effective DevOps monitoring solution
- Manage DNS changes with a dynamic API so you can iterate and test the code in the same manner as application code
- Examine how Intechnica uses DNS to optimize deployments and minimize risk within its own DevOps culture
