DNS providers should support a wide range of RR types, and domain owners should vote with their NS records.
See https://github.com/StackExchange/dnscontrol/blob/master/docu... for a list of DNS providers that support CAA.

Domain registrar Gandi gets bought out, screws existing customers
DNSControl[1] or another similar tool also helps a lot when moving. My DNS records are configured by a small JavaScript file in a git repository, and I can very easily point it at another DNS provider.

How to create users in Kubernetes
The first step is to create the source key that represents our user. This key is created using a tool like openssl but another popular tool to use is cfssl, created by Cloudflare. Some folks think cfssl is easier to use, and it definitely looks easier to script. But for this example we will use openssl. You can also choose to create the key using a number of different algorithms. For this example we will use ED25519.
