#Itwasdns
Judging by how many #itwasdns shirts I've sold this morning...

Is the Cloudflare outage DNS-related too? www.redshirtjeff.com/shop/p/it-wa...
It was DNS T-Shirt — Red Shirt Jeff
DESCRIPTION Of course it was DNS. Is that even a question? If you ever need inspiration for finding the root cause of any problem with your application, just put on this shirt and look in the mirror...

I must be one of the lucky few that never need to say #Itwasdns

Somehow, for me, it's nearly never DNS

Raise your hand if you ever inadvertently caused a 2+ hour outage (which was impossible to fix in a deterministic manner) due to DNS misconfiguration. #itwasdns

Eine aktualisierte Apparmor-Konfiguration für bind hatte meine letsencrypt-Zertifikatserneuerung kaputt gemacht. Da musste auch erstmal drauf kommen…

I'm working on a DNS management project to make life easier, especially as "it was DNS" is a thing... I'm sure @jeffgeerling.com would be interested.... What do you find difficult/frustrating/tedious or would appreciate automation with in your work? #DNS #ItWasDNS #DNSManagement #DomainNames

Completely sold out of 'Cosplaying as a Sysadmin' sticker packs on www.redshirtjeff.com, but still have a bunch of shirts left, like the classic 'It was DNS'! Going to restock soon, though. #itwasdns

Cool, cool. Looks like VirusTotal fucked up their DNSSEC settings. Or Google fucked it up for them. Other DNS services than the one I use allow resolving the CNAME and the resulting A record because they don't validate DNSSEC. #DNSSEC #ItWasDNS #VirusTotal

#square had an #outage. Now they tell their customers what it was.

(BTW 👍 for transparency and visibility, Square, even if comms could have been a touch more frequent)…

Obviously #ItWasDNS because isn’t it always #DNS?
