More webinars from ISC!

[Suzanne Goldlust]

Summer is over and ISC’s webinar season is back in full swing! Here are three upcoming webinars (one series, two one-time) that you might be interested in.

----------
Using the Kea DHCP Server
This series of six bi-weekly webinars will enable a LINUX or UNIX system administrator to successfully deploy the open source Kea DHCP server. We will begin with a review of DHC protocol basics. Attendees will learn how to install, configure, and monitor a Kea DHCP server to assign dynamic and static IP addresses and IPv6 prefixes, and configure appropriate client options such as the default gateway and DNS server.

Register once for the entire series: all sessions will be recorded and the recordings posted within a few days, so you can easily review any sessions you miss. Each session will last approximately one hour, including Q&A as time permits.

Schedule
• September 16: Session 1. DHCP fundamentals, DHCPv4 vs DHCPv6 differences - don’t worry if you missed this one; the recording is  already available online at https://www.isc.org/presentations/
• September 30: Session 2. Kea installation and configuration
• October 14: Session 3. Kea lease allocation, client classification, and option assignment
• October 28: Session 4. High Availability and DB Backends

Please note there is an extra week between sessions 4 and 5. There is also a Daylight Savings Time disconnect between the US and Europe; please check your registration from Zoom for the correct time in your timezone.

• November 18: Session 5. Monitoring, Logging, and Stork
• December 2: Session 6. Migrating to Kea from ISC DHCP

Update on Encrypted DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is one of the basic protocols of the Internet - almost no application can work without DNS name resolution. Unfortunately, the classic DNS protocol was never designed to protect end-user privacy.

After a few years of relative calm, the IETF has intensified its work on privacy in the DNS, and new DNS protocols have been standardized: DoT (DNS over TLS) and DoH (DNS over HTTPS).

With the initial euphoria about the prospect of encrypted DNS over, disillusionment has been spreading in the IT community - the first implementations of DoH in major web browsers cause concerns that privacy data will be collected centrally at US cloud providers, a step backwards for user privacy.

But the story is not over yet. New protagonists Apple and Microsoft have joined the fray with new and interesting ideas about DNS encryption.

Please join us for a FREE webinar on Wednesday, September 23 at 10 AM PDT/1 PM EDT/5 PM UTC. It will last approximately one hour, and will be recorded for later viewing.

In this talk we will:

• review the reasons for concern about DNS privacy
• explain the new protocols DoT and DoH
• present the current (as of September 2020) status of DoH/DoT deployment
• look at new work from the IETF Adaptive DNS Discover (ADD) working group: Oblivious DoH (oDoH) and Adaptive DNS resolver discovery
• provide an update on the latest advances from Apple and Microsoft

Comcast and VinylDNS
VinylDNS is a vendor-agnostic open source front-end for enabling self-service DNS and streamlining DNS operations. It is designed to integrate with an existing DNS infrastructure, and provides extensibility to fit any installation. Joe Crowe, Senior DNS Engineer, and Paul Cleary, Senior Principal Software Developer from Comcast, will describe the project. 

VinylDNS manages millions of DNS records, supporting thousands of engineers in production at Comcast. The platform provides fine-grained access controls, auditing of changes, a self-service user interface, a secure RESTful API, and integration with infrastructure automation tools including Ansible and Terraform.

This talk will review VinylDNS and its history at Comcast, including several small demos that highlight how VinylDNS works.

Please join us for a FREE webinar on Wednesday, October 7 at 10 AM PDT/1 PM EDT/5 PM UTC. It will last approximately one hour, and will be recorded for later viewing; see our Presentations page (https://www.isc.org/presentations) for links to all our recorded webinars.
