Track 1: Infrastructure Reliability
Strengthening Uganda’s DNS Backbone
Uganda’s Internet and DNS infrastructure faces frequent disruptions due to limited redundancy and heavy dependence on undersea cables and regional transit. A single cable cut or peering failure can degrade access to key websites, services, and local content.
Outcome : Create solutions or policy concepts that help Uganda reduce DNS-related outages, improve access speeds, and boost confidence in local services. Your work could shape how ISPs, data centers, and public agencies strengthen DNS delivery nationwide.
In this track, participants will design tools and strategies to improve the resilience and reliability of DNS infrastructure across Uganda. Whether you’re a developer, network engineer, or policy thinker, you can contribute to safeguarding Uganda’s digital backbone.
- DNS health monitoring and alerting tools
- Distributed or backup DNS architectures
- Fallback and caching systems for continuity during outages
- IXP-based DNS routing solutions
- DNS infrastructure mapping and risk analysis
You’ll Have Access To:
- APIs and datasets (where available) on .ug domains and DNS metrics
- Example dashboards and probe tools (e.g. Grafana, RIPE Atlas)
- Mentorship from DNS infrastructure and operations experts
- Cloud credits or test environments for simulation
