DevOps networking and domain management

DevOps workflows frequently require rapid network accessibility and domain management, particularly for testing integrations or exposing local development environments to the internet.^[400-devops-000-moc-devops.md]

Domain Management

Developers can acquire domains at no cost using free domain services^[400-devops-000-moc-devops.md]. These services typically include management interfaces for DNS (Domain Name System) records, allowing users to point their domain names to specific IP addresses or services^[400-devops-000-moc-devops.md].

Tunneling and Proxies

To facilitate local development or testing, tools like ngrok are used to create a secure proxy server^[400-devops-000-moc-devops.md]. This allows software running on a local machine (localhost) to be temporarily exposed to the public internet via a public URL, bypassing NAT and firewalls without requiring immediate router configuration^[400-devops-000-moc-devops.md].
