  • Operations: Any operational gotchas, lessons learned from an outage,
    details/reasons for a recent outage (how to improve time to recovery,
    tooling), interoperability concerns and experience.
  • Deployment: DNS config management and release process.
  • Monitoring: Log ingestion pipeline, analytics infrastructure, anomaly detection.
  • Scaling: DNS performance management and metrics. Increasing DNS server efficiency.
  • Security: DoS experience, attacks on the DNS, DNSSEC signing and validation.
  • Privacy: Encrypted transports, qname minimization, data anonymization.
  • Resilience: Provisioning planning, load-balancing services, features (e.g. serve-stale)
  • If you have something interesting to share with the community that lies outside of the ideas above, please don't be put off - if it's good, we'll be happy to include it.
