Recovery of a failed registry

A system, method, and computer-readable medium, is described that enables a registry recovery service to retrieve zone files from a target registry, archive the zone files, publish the zone files to a managed DNS server, reconcile ownership of the zone files, and publish the zone files to a provisioning DNS server. The registry recovery service may also implement a WHOIS server for the zone and ownership information and may also implement zone specific features particular to the target registry's TLD. The registry recovery service may also enable DNSSEC extensions on the recovered registry DNS services.

Reconciling internet DNS zone file changes with origin change requests

Techniques for monitoring zone file changes are presented. The techniques may include obtaining at least one zone change request and parsing the at least one zone change request to obtain at least one change request unit. The techniques may include obtaining a last published zone file, obtaining a new zone file, and comparing the last published zone file to the new zone file to obtain at least one difference object. The techniques may include matching the at least one difference object to the at least one change request unit to identify at least one unmatched difference object. The techniques may include providing a human readable report comprising an indication of the at least one unmatched difference object.

A computer-implemented method of recovering a registry comprising: This disclosure relates to the recovery of a failed registry.The domain name system (DNS) and domain name registration system have become an integral part of how consumers and businesses conduct activity on the Internet.One advantage of DNS is that it allows a person to visit a website by typing into a browser a “domain name”, that is, a familiar word or group of words, rather than the numeric IP address of the computer on which the website resides. For example, a person desiring to visit the VeriSign website could do so by entering in their web browser the domain name “verisign.com” instead of an IP address, such as “10.1.100.” Although, the user could enter either the domain name or the IP address, the moniker “verisign.com” is easier to remember than a string of digits. A domain name is an example of a “provisioned object,” that is, an object that is assigned or released through a registry interface and supported by registration system standards.The DNS system also allows multiple websites to share one IP address when multiple domain names all resolve to (that is, are associated ...

UPDATING OF OPERATING SYSTEM IMAGES

Embodiments disclosed herein are related to systems and methods for updating an operating system image. A system includes a processor and a system memory. A customization module receives end user defined customization parameters for an updatable base operating system image. The customization module further translates the received customization parameters into image state transition steps. The state transition steps cause the implementation of the customization parameters when applied to the updatable base operating system image. A generation module generates the updatable base operating system image by applying some of the image state transition steps. An update module updates the generated updatable base operating system image without the need for further end user input by applying some of the state transition steps to generate an updated operating system image. 1. A system for automatically updating an operating system image , the system comprising:a processor; a customization module configured to receive one or more end user defined customization parameters for an updatable base operating system image and configured to translate the received one or more customization parameters into one or more image state transition steps, the one or more image state transition steps being configured to at least partially cause the implementation of the customization parameters when applied to the updatable base operating system image;', 'a generation module configured to generate the updatable base operating system image by applying at least one of the one or more image state transition steps; and', 'an update module configured to update the generated updatable base operating system image one or more times in response to a scheduled event by applying at least one of the one or more image state transition steps to thereby generate an updated operating system image., 'a system memory having stored thereon computer executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, ...
