Terraform Provider<\/strong><\/a> with full API coverage. As a result, teams can now discover and test NIOS APIs in a browser, auto\u2011generate clients and fold NIOS changes into the same automation frameworks they use for the rest of the environment. DNS, DHCP and IP address management (IPAM) updates can now use the same continuous integration (CI)\/continuous delivery (CD) pipelines as application and infrastructure changes, without waiting on manual DNS or IP updates\u2014shortening delivery cycles, reducing handoffs between teams and making it less likely that a missed change will cause an outage late in the process.it less likely that a missed change will cause an outage late in the process. <\/p>\nNIOS 9.1.0 further advances standards-based automation by adding immutable Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs) for NIOS objects. If you have ever watched a script or Terraform module break because someone changed a name or moved an object, you know how fragile automation can become. UUIDs provide a stable anchor for every object, so teams developing automation code can track resources across their lifecycle, reduce configuration drift and simplify logic. Automation becomes cleaner, more predictable and easier to maintain as environments grow.<\/p>\n
NIOS 9.1.0 also adds OAuth 2.0 with OpenID Connect (OIDC) API authentication for Ping Identity and refines how NIOS models the IP space for Azure so it matches common cloud patterns. These changes serve the same goal: letting you plug NIOS into modern automation and identity workflows without workarounds, so pipelines can authenticate with standards\u2011based tokens instead of brittle passwords and cloud\u2011driven provisioning can treat NIOS as a first\u2011class part of the process. As more day\u2011to\u2011day DDI work gets automated, you reduce manual effort and errors, shorten rollout times and free in-house automation experts to focus on projects that move the business forward.<\/p>\n
Security, Resilience and Compliance You Can Count On<\/h3>\n
As regulations evolve and infrastructure spreads to new locations and clouds, organizations cannot afford to treat DDI as a static, once-and-done technology implementation. To preserve rock-solid application availability and performance amidst changing architectures, security requirements and use cases, these critical network services must evolve right alongside the rest of the IT stack. <\/p>\n
NIOS 9.1.0 is the latest culmination of Infoblox\u2019s long\u2011term investment in customer\u2011driven innovation. Across recent releases, NIOS has delivered more than 110 major features and enhancements prompted directly by customer requests. The goal is simple: whether you already rely on NIOS as the backbone of your connectivity or are adopting it for the first time, you should keep seeing more security, resilience and value from that investment over time, not less. <\/p>\n
In this release, that ongoing investment shows up in several key areas that matter to how you operate: <\/p>\n
\n- High availability (HA) in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)<\/strong> so you can apply familiar NIOS HA patterns consistently across all major public clouds\u2014AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and now Oracle\u2014and avoid building one\u2011off designs for each environment.<\/li>\n
- Expanded IPv6 DNS\/DHCP management for Microsoft environments<\/strong> so you can meet IPv6 mandates, including IPv6\u2011only deployments, while still managing everything through a single, centralized platform.<\/li>\n
- Improved global traffic steering resilience in NIOS DNS Traffic Control<\/strong>, with more granular control over how traffic fails over between sites and how applications respond when specific locations are under stress.<\/li>\n
- Easier DNSSEC configuration aligned with Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) guidance (RFC 9276)<\/strong>, so you can run DNSSEC in a way that balances security and performance, and simplify the audits and reviews that go with it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
These are not abstract features. They are concrete ways to keep services online, configurations consistent and auditors satisfied as your environment evolves.<\/p>\n
Keep Moving Forward with the Platform You Trust<\/h3>\n
Your business is not slowing down. You will keep adding new applications, expanding to new sites and clouds and responding to new security and compliance demands. The question is whether your foundational DNS, DHCP and IPAM services can keep up without forcing constant re\u2011platforming. With NIOS 9.1.0, you can:<\/p>\n
\n- Gain more value from existing NIOS deployments, with DNS encryption, high\u2011speed logging and event\u2011driven integrations now built into the core product<\/li>\n
- Use modern automation frameworks to manage DDI as code, reduce manual work and accelerate safe, repeatable changes<\/li>\n
- Rely on ongoing NIOS innovation to strengthen security, resilience and compliance on the platform you trust<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Whether you are just starting to implement enterprise-grade DDI or have been an Infoblox customer for years, the outcomes are the same: NIOS helps you move faster, with less risk, while continuing to deliver more capabilities and value over the life of your investment.<\/p>\n
Footnotes<\/h3>\n\n- NOTE: DoT\/DoH encryption is included at no additional charge only when running NIOS on Trinzic X6 appliances. Organizations using Trinzic X5 will still need to purchase an additional license. dnstap logging and the NIOS outbound event API are included at no additional charge for organizations using both X5 and X6 appliances. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
