Domain name
A domain name is a human-readable hierarchical identifier resolved through the Domain Name System to identify an Internet host, service, or resource.
Effective Platform Engineering
A domain name is a human-readable hierarchical identifier used to locate resources in the Domain Name System.
- How it is used
- Uses DNS naming to make platform services discoverable, understandable, and reachable by internal and external users.
- How deep it goes
- Defines DNS-based service location and outlines hosted-zone setup, while deferring general DNS architecture.
- Examples
- Uses api.epetech.io, delegated environment subdomains, Google APIs, Route53 zones, and Terraform configuration.
- What you can do after
- Operate/configure hosted zones and delegated subdomains for services through a platform-oriented DNS design.

Rust in Action: Systems programming concepts and techniques
A domain name is a hierarchical, human-readable identifier for an Internet host or other DNS resource.
- How it is used
- Translates human-readable hostnames into IP addresses needed for Internet communication.
- How deep it goes
- Explains DNS resolution, query construction, and Rust representations, but implements only a small portion of the DNS protocol.
- Examples
- Demonstrates `resolve www.rustinaction.com`, public DNS servers, and a Rust DNS-message query.
- What you can do after
- Operate a Rust resolver using the `trust-dns` crate and configure its DNS server from the command line.
