DNS and BIND: Setting Up, Managing and Securing Your DNS Server Training Course
DNS (Domain Name System) functions as the internet's directory, mapping human-readable domain names to machine-readable IP addresses. BIND serves as the predominant DNS implementation for Linux environments. Behind every website visit or email exchange, a DNS server is actively resolving the intended recipient's address.
During this instructor-led live training, participants will explore essential DNS concepts while engaging in practical exercises to install and configure a BIND DNS server on Linux. The curriculum begins by reinforcing fundamental networking concepts, then transitions into hands-on deployment and configuration tasks. As the session progresses, the focus shifts to advanced subjects including security hardening, availability management, debugging, and troubleshooting.
