Designate/Program

Official Title

DNS Services

Description

The DNS Services program builds systems and tools that facilitate the management of authoritative zones and records. The program takes a vendor neutral approach to compatibility with numerous domain name servers. The DNS Services Program will fill an essential gap for domain name management especially in the assigning of domains to Openstack project resources such as servers, storage nodes, load balancers and other network topology.

Mission Statement

Enable operators to meet their Domain Name System needs in a stable and scalable manner.

Scope

The DNS Services Program will support the following:

  • Vendor neutrality with critical components
  • Functionality as defined, but not limited to, DNS RFCs
  • Use cases not defined in DNS RFCs but commonly solved through DNS implementation
  • Functionality supporting the operation of name servers
  • Orchestration of name servers to facilitate public and private DNS

Maturity

The current team of developers incorporates regular contributions from HP, eBay Inc., Rackspace, and Red Hat. The program maintains healthy IRC activity on #openstack-dns and meets every Wednesday at 17:00UTC.

Project Technical Lead

Kiall Mac Innes is Project Technical Lead.

ATC Status

The program grants Active Technical Contributor (ATC) status to anyone completing a commit to any program repository during the previous two release cycles. Core project team members may grant ATC to significant, non code contributors for two cycles.

Deliverables

The DNS Services Program is currently focused on delivering on the scope and mission for the Designate project. The Designate roadmap may be found here.
