For all of these there are alternative ways to deliver the same results, but the built-in fault tolerance and independence from your other infrastructure mean that it is worth considering using DNS.
Use DNS to Streamline Deployment Pipelines
One of the primary objectives in moving to a DevOps culture is to increase the the cadence of deployments to production, ideally moving much closer to a Continuous Delivery system.
