When this page helps

Typical situations in which this page adds value as a working document, and where another document is more appropriate.

Typical use cases

  • when for DNS & Domain Management technical standards about domains, zonen and verantwortliche owner must be documented in a binding way
  • when team handovers or temporary cover the same process for wer entries freigibt should be able to execute safely
  • when incidents or Changes show that evidence such as dns-change-tickets are still missing
  • when configuration or operational deviations (e.g. entries be changed without ttl-plan) occur repeatedly

Less suitable when

  • when DNS & Domain Management only about a one-off individual case without need for standardization applies
  • when a detailed project ticket or a technical step-by-step guide is the better fit
