Why Automate Cloud-Based DNS Updates?
In today’s dynamic, digital environment, enterprises have invested heavily in ensuring that important applications and services can be deployed nearly instantaneously, but successful deployment also relies on necessary changes to the underlying infrastructure and supporting network services like cloud-based DNS. Making these changes manually can be a time consuming and error prone process, and because DNS changes must be coordinated carefully with the addition or removal of an application or service, making a change too soon or too late can cause unnecessary service disruption or outages. If the process of making DNS updates creates a backlog, it halts the ability for an organization to quickly deploy new applications and services.
Network automation helps to:
- Coordinate appropriate DNS updates precisely when needed.
- Avoid service and application outages due to misconfigurations or timing.
- Enable self-service portals for end-user DNS updates.
