Infra: Give Developers Autonomy with OctoDNS
summary
OctoDNS is presented as a DNS-as-code tool using a flat YAML config and commands octodns validate, octodns dump and octodns sync to manage zones and providers. The demo shows creating 85 PowerDNS records and migrating 84 to AWS Route 53 in one command (avoiding Terraform/Ansible slowness and Route53 API rate limits), and describes integration with GitHub CI (lint → staging test → apply), pulling from NetBox, and enabling developer self-service while preserving Ops review through PRs.
