DNS (Domain Name System) is a critical component of computer networking that translates domain names into IP addresses. In larger organizations, especially with distributed responsibility like Masaryk University, managing DNS records can be a laborious task. Finding more straightforward methods to manage and orchestrate DNS records are very welcome.

In this thesis, the student will analyze popular and widely used DNS systems hosted both on-premise and in the cloud and compatible management software for DNS records that will satisfy the requirements of Masaryk University. The primary areas of functional requirements include support for all commonly used DNS Records, the ability to edit objects using HTTP API, support for multi-users and ACLs, the ability to delegate particular DNS zones and records, approvals and registrations for changes, the ability to auditing and notifications of changes, backups, and recovery. Based on the comprehensive analysis of available software and mapping of functional requirements, the chosen system will be deployed for demonstration with implemented demo objects (such as DNS zones, ACLs, user identities, etc.) using infrastructure as code principles. The student will also provide a list of features that could not have been covered by the chosen system, along with a brief analysis of how to implement a missing functionality if desired.
