Ethan BlantonI reminded my #DistributedSystems class today that DNS is a global, decentralized, eventually consistent database with a continuous uptime and client compatibility window of 40 years, and I'm not sure that they were suitably impressed.
Stéphane Bortzmeyer@elb And without even using Kubernetes or AWS!
geb@bortzmeyer @elb I prefer to use distributed than decentralized in this context. See rfc2826 and ICANN's privilege to sell .coca etc.
@geb @bortzmeyer That's fine; in class, we discussed TLDs, gTLDs, some of the drama behind ISO country codes, what happens when a domain expires or is repossessed, etc.
