On most modern Linux distros, you can enable the local caching of DNS queries by using the built-in systemd-resolved service. In this article, we will take a look at how to speed up the resolution of DNS queries by using systemd-resolved local client caching on Debian and Ubuntu. This allows you to reduce DNS resolution delays if you have an unstable network connection, when DNSSEC is enabled, and on hosts that make a large number of DNS queries (for example, mail servers).
Modern versions of Ubuntu offer many different ways to configure network settings, and it’s easy to get confused. In this article, we will have a look at how to configure network settings in Ubuntu using Network Manager, Systemd Networkd, Netplan, and the static configuration file /etc/network/interfaces (legacy way).

Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) allows you to deploy your own PKI infrastructure on a domain network and use it to issue and manage certificates. In this article, we will look at a typical Certification Authority (CA) deployment scenario: installing a root CA and subordinate enterprise AD CS on two Windows Server hosts, and configuring Group Policy to issue certificates in a domain.
