Ops School videos

[bbhart]

The Contributions page says that a number of videos have been filmed already, including DNS 101 (for example), but when I look at the DNS 101 page it's still a scaffold. If that page is blank, then where does the material for the videos come from? Just want to make sure I'm not reinventing the wheel if I contribute. Thanks.

Hi,

Have a look at these threads on the ops-education list:

The videos are sold by O'Reilly, and are at the following URLs in 3 packages. Yup, sold - they spent a lot of time and money to professionally film them and hope to recover some of that, which seems fair. However if anyone else has recorded material we can link to for free, we would be ALL over that!

We should link to these packages from the curriculum for now.

Thanks @ronna and @avleen. What I was trying to figure out is whether I should start to work on a DNS module, or just defer to the video(s) instead.

Documentation for DNS would be really helpful. The folks up at Dyn recorded some DNS videos a few weeks ago, I plan to get those reviewed and published soon somewhere :) There may certainly be more you can add to them - I'll let you know as soon as I can.

I eventually wrote the DNS 101 page; I'm happy to do more DNS-related content (in fact, I'm happy to take a stab at most things!) if there's more to be done, though. Given that the aforementioned DNS 101 page now exists, can this issue be closed out pending @avleen confirming whether or not he managed to DNS tutorial videos from Dyn?
