The deadline for OARC 44 abstract submission is extended to December 9, 2024, at 23:59 UTC. Thanks to those who already submitted, but we're still looking for more contributions. If you have something interesting to present and missed the chance last week, then this is your opportunity to still be part of the agenda for this event. This workshop will be a hybrid event. Date - 6-7 February 2025 Location - Atlanta Marriott Marquis - Atlanta, Georgia, USA Time zone - EST (UTC -5) Co-located with - NANOG 93 Deadline for Submissions - 2024-12-09 23:59 UTC All DNS-related subjects and discussion topics are welcome although we're particularly keen to hear about operational and security related experiences, best practices and practical advice; both for newcomers to the DNS arena and those who have been around for longer who want to learn more about new features and opportunities to improve resilience, security and privacy. If you have something interesting to share with the community that lies outside of the focus above, please don't be put off - if it's good, we'll be happy to include it. If you'd like to offer a talk, but are not quite sure what to pick, here's a non-exhaustive list of ideas: - Operations: Experiences, interoperability concerns, tooling tips, lessons learned from or details/reasons for a recent outage (how to improve time to recovery, tooling for detection/mitigation), operational 'gotchas'... - 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) For further details please see https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc44 Cathy Almond, for the DNS-OARC Programme Committee
