Join me as I explore everything there is to know about DNS, including what DNS actually is, the link between domain names and IP addresses, why there’s been an explosion in the number of domains in recent years (spoiler alert: money), why it’s important to actually own the development domain you use, and more—all with a healthy dose of related acronyms sprinkled in, like TTL, UDP, TCP, AXFR, and IXFR.

Over the course of my career, I’ve worn many different hats in the tech world: systems administrator, systems engineer, director of technical operations, and director of DevOps, to name a few. Today, I’m a cloud economist at The Duckbill Group, the author of the weekly Last Week in AWS newsletter, and the host of two podcasts: Screaming in the Cloud and, you guessed it, AWS Morning Brief, which you’re about to listen to. Join me as I ramble on about why networking in the cloud doesn’t matter until it does, IPv4 and the emergence of IPv6, the anatomy of a network, how networks talk to one another, the difference between a network in a data center and a network in the cloud, why wire cutters are nature’s best firewall, and more.
