   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 environment and vice versa without deploying VM-based DNS servers. It provides a simple, zero-maintenance, reliable, and secure DNS service.

 Integration with Azure Services: Azure DNS seamlessly integrates with other Azure services, allowing you to streamline your end-to-end deployment process. You can manage your DNS records alongside your Azure resources, making it easier to maintain and update your DNS configurations.

 Traffic Management: Azure Traffic Manager is a DNS-based traffic load balancer that allows you to distribute traffic to your public-facing applications across the global Azure regions. This helps improve application availability and performance.

System Hardening Week 9

  Assume Breach and Be Proactive: Traditional cybersecurity is reactive, responding to known attack methods. However, sophisticated adversaries continuously evolve their tactics to bypass security solutions. Threat hunting operates under an “assume breach” mindset. It seeks to uncover indications of attack (IOA) that haven’t been detected yet. The goal is to outthink the attacker by identifying and mitigating threats before they access sensitive data.

Week 7 Cloud Computing.

  Cloud Computing vs. Internet of Things (IoT) Cloud Computing Cloud computing refers to the delivery of computing services (such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics) over the internet ("the cloud"). Key characteristics include: ·          On-Demand Resources : Users can access resources as needed without physical hardware. ·          Scalability : Easily scale resources up or down based on demand. ·          Cost-Effectiveness : Pay-as-you-go pricing models reduce the need for significant upfront investments in hardware. ·          Accessibility : Access services from anywhere with an internet connection. Internet of Things (IoT) The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of interconnected devices that collect and exchange data. These devices can include anything from smart home appliances t...

  File Storage Description: Structure: Hierarchical, using directories and subdirectories. Data Organization: Files are stored with metadata like filename, timestamps, and permissions. Advantages: Familiarity: Easy for users to understand and manage, akin to traditional file systems. Ideal Use Cases: Great for storing and managing documents, media files, and shared drives. Block Storage Description: Structure: Data is divided into fixed-sized blocks. Data Organization: Each block has a unique identifier, but no metadata is attached directly. Advantages: Performance: High performance and low latency. Flexibility: The operating system can be formatted and used as required. Ideal Use Cases: Databases: Suitable for database applications. Virtual Machines: Commonly used for VM storage and high-performance applications.
