Why Automate DNS Updates?
Not staying up to speed with DNS records leaves businesses vulnerable to duplicating records, incorrect resource assignments, and missing critical security updates. These issues are time consuming and complicated to resolve, involving cross team cooperation and ultimately costing businesses additional overhead costs. By automating DNS updates, eliminate manual errors and tie together a holistic, safe guarded operational process.
Network automation can help to:
- Accelerate the fulfillment of DNS update requests so other teams can quickly provide new applications, services, or functionalities to customers.
- Avoid duplicating records and correctly assign resources.
- Stay on top of critical security updates.
- Decrease the length of customer wait times from 24 hours to 5 minutes, reducing operating costs and improving customer retention and satisfaction.
- Reduce deployment time from 7 days to 5 minutes.
