I love all the comments about fail-over for DDOS/DNS protection. What is your budget? Well we are looking at around $0.00 for our maximum allowance. Ok so single point of failure it is I guess we are done here. Companies only say they care when there is a problem, the reality is that they dont.
It obviously takes more than $0.00 but not that much more. It’s a matter of adding a second DNS provider and making sure you replicate DNS records manually or with AFXR.
What’s really puzzling is if the same companies spend money on active/passive failover for application and database servers while overlooking DNS single point of failure.
Precisely. I remember when the CEO of my old company came to me and said (with respect to moving from a on-prem model to SaaS), "What's our SLA going to be?"
"Well, what do you want it to be?"
Give me a number and I'll tell you how much it will cost and how long it will take to get there.
