Week 8

 The internet protocol version 6 (IPV6) is a suite of standard protocols for the network layer of the Internet, IPV6 is designed to solve many of the problems of the current Internet protocol suite (IPV4) about address depletion, security, and auto-configuration. IPV6 expands the capability of the internet to enable new kinds of applications including peer-to-peer and mobile applications.

IPV6 addresses are 128 bits long, the reason for this is to subdivide the available addresses into a hierarchy of routing domains that reflect the internet's topology. The total number of IPV6 addresses in the world is 340 undecillions, an example of an IPV6 address is 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e: 0370:7334. It is represented as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, each group representing 16 bits. The groups are separated by colons, the first 64 bits of the address are for routing and the last 64 bits are for representing the interface or node.

Week 6 Cloud Computing

     Key Features of Azure DNS DNS Hosting : Azure DNS allows you to host your DNS domains in Azure. You can manage your DNS records using the same credentials, APIs, tools, and billing as your other Azure services. Public and Private DNS Zones : Public DNS Zones : These are used for hosting domains accessible over the internet. You can manage DNS records for your public domains using Azure DNS. Private DNS Zones : These are used for managing and resolving domain names within your virtual network without configuring a custom DNS solution. This is useful for internal name resolution within your Azure environment. DNS Resolution : Azure DNS provides fast and reliable DNS resolution using a global network of name servers. Anycast networking allows DNS queries to automatically route to the closest name servers for the best possible performance.   DNS Private Resolver : This service enables you to query Azure DNS private zones from an on-premises...

System Hardening Week 12.

  Network automation offers several compelling benefits, and its impact on IT professionals is significant. Below are some advantages.   Benefits of Network Automation: It eliminates manual tasks by automating network processes. This boosts IT productivity, allowing professionals to focus on strategic initiatives that drive business growth. Network automation enables faster provisioning of critical data services, optimizes network performance, and speeds up the rollout of new services and applications. Previously infrequent network changes have become more frequent due to automation, reducing manual adjustments' time-consuming and resource-intensive nature. It helps build a reliable network for an infrastructure-as-code approach that consistently maintains network state and configuration, enhancing reliability from data centers to edge location...
