Oracle has announced it’s shuttering Dyn, three years after it bought the DNS service, which will be integrated into the\u00a0Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a post to its website last night, the company said: “Since the acquisition of Dyn in 2016<\/a> and the subsequent acquisition of Zenedge<\/a>, the engineering teams have been working diligently to integrate Dyn’s products and services into the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure platform<\/a>. Enterprises can now leverage the best-in-class DNS, web application security, and email delivery services within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and enhance their applications with a comprehensive platform to build, scale, and operate their cloud infrastructure.”<\/p>\n

While the FAQ page gives no deadline for migration to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, customers have reposted emails which give 31 May 2020 as the End of Life (EOL) date.<\/p>\n

Some customers have hit out at the decision, citing the consequent culling of a free tier and loss of some functionality, particularly dynamic DNS.<\/p>\n

On Hacker News<\/a><\/em>, someone under the username jpollock said: “As a lesson to anyone else hoping to do a shutdown with a migration to a different service with your company.<\/p>\n

“If you are going to treat me the same as any new subscriber, where I have to re-signup, re-add my payment method, export my settings and then import them again, you’re asking me to buy all over again.<\/p>\n

“If you ask me to buy, then I get will reevaluate the relationship, and if it’s just as easy to migrate to another supplier I will move.<\/p>\n

“Migrating internally should have been “push this button to accept the new terms and pricing, you don’t even need to talk with your registrar.”<\/p>\n

“I’ve been a Dyn customer for over a decade, and now I’m moving because it’s just as easy to move as it is to stay.”<\/p>\n

Others took to Twitter to announce their displeasure.<\/p>\n

What a terrible experience that Oracle is giving Dyn customers:https:\/\/t.co\/CPqgk3y65T<\/a><\/p>\n

First, they don't support dynamic DNS or DNSSEC.<\/p>\n

Second, the transfer is not automated!<\/p>\n

I'll be switching to @Cloudflare<\/a>.<\/p>\n
