Dumb question but what's the difference between the two? If the underlying config is broken then DNS resolution would fail, and that's basically the only way resolution fails, no?
- mrktf 1y agoMy speculation: 1st one - it just DNS fails and you can repeat later. second one - you need working DNS to update your DNS servers with new configuration endpoints where DynamoDB fetches its config (classical case of circular dependencies - i even managed get similar problem with two small dns servers...)
- vidarh 1y agoDNS is trivial to distribute if your backing storage is accessible and/or local to each resolver, so it's a reasonable distinction to make: It suggests someone has preferred consistency at a level where DNS doesn't really provide consistency (due to caching in resolvers along the path) anyway, over a system with fewer failure points.
