The short version
- While ISC is perhaps best-known today for operating the global F-root DNS service, software development remains a core part of its mission.
- BIND 9 continues to power DNS services worldwide as both an authoritative server and a recursive resolver.
- Kea DHCP replaces the legacy ISC DHCP server, which has reached end of life (EOL).
What happened
Because DHCP environments can be complex, Stork represents a significant step forward. The graphical management platform integrates with BIND 9 and PowerDNS, making it easier for operators to manage services centrally.
Why it matters
Stork also integrates with Prometheus and Grafana to provide monitoring, reporting, dashboards, and a web-based management interface.
