DNS-OARC was a two-day conference being held in Charlotte, NC this year. It is held alongside the major North American Network Operators’ Group (NANOG) conference, but while NANOG covers overall networking the DNS-OARC is all about DNS. It is rare to find a conference that focuses on such a specific topic, therefore it is attended by significant names and parties from around the world. Being in driving distance, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to attend.

2023 UNC CAUSE is a wrap.

I was part of a larger presentation on Thursday and have presentation slides up. It is an overview of our DEVOPS team, how it has evolved from September 2019 to now and what we’ve been able to accomplish.

This is just a quick rundown and sync up for the sessions I went through. There was a lot to process.

Mobility v8 Level 1

It was 3 days of training on v8, and good stuff IMHO but I want go into details in email. My training books are in the office if you wanted to look through them. I feel better about the Mobility Master role and the configuration hierarchy.

My first UNC Cause conference was interesting. I met some new contacts over the various NC schools but also reconnected to a few old ones. I attended a number of sessions but also was on the schedule for two talks.

DNS Filtering

The first talk was co-led with Alex Everett of the UNC Security department. We covered how UNC evaluated, selected, and implemented a solution for campus. The session itself was packed with a number of people standing in the back. The slides are available for review.
