How to maintain version control of DNS settings?

DNS version control strategies:

Manual documentation:

Spreadsheet or document with all records

Update whenever changes are made

Date-stamped versions

Infrastructure as code:

Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation for DNS

Changes tracked in Git

Review process for DNS modifications

Zone file exports:

Regular exports of zone files

Stored in version control

Can restore previous configurations

Provider features: Some DNS providers have built-in versioning or audit logs.

Version control enables rollback, audit trails, and understanding of what changed when problems occur.

Keep historical copies of your ship's manifests. Know what changed and when if problems arise.
