I have a .com domain with 'test' in the name. I was mildly DNS spammed because Microsoft admins would create that thing with test in the name. I'd get 10-20 DNS packets a day. I moved it to an external DNS provider just to give my logs a break.
20 packets a day? Phew! So you barely survived the DDoS!
Maybe they’re running their DNS server on a solar-powered Arduino.
Well, you also have to run the Kubernetes cluster, ELK stack, Postgres, Redis, Kafka, Prometheus, Grafana and Jaeger to monitor the application and scale elastically between 0 and 20 packets.
At least you’re not a sysadmin for Contoso, those folks must have their hands full.
