Apple devices might not open your internal network’s ‘.local’ domain
To avoid issues with your internal corporate network, use a DNS name that’s officially registered to your organization.
Bonjour’s Multicast Domain Name Service (mDNS) uses the “.local” suffix to identify Bonjour-accessible devices. This is documented in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request for Comment (RFC) 6762. It’s also recorded in the official Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) registry of Special-Use Domain Names. If your organization uses the “.local” suffix, Apple devices might not resolve your unicast DNS names or bind to your Active Directory domains.
When your organization plans its internal network, it should register a domain name. If your organization uses an unregistered domain name, it should avoid all IANA Special-Use domain names. The “.home” and “.corp” DNS suffixes are not Special-Use domain names. The IETF and ICANN can designate any unregistered suffix as Special Use.
You can learn more about ICANN’s name collision study and their proposal to manage collision occurrences.
Many thanks to Giovanni for this useful information.

Amazon MSK Replicator: Active-Passive and Active-Active Clusters for Apache Kafka Service
AWS recently unveiled the MSK Replicator, a fresh feature for both cross-region and within-region data streaming replication. This addition to the Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka service facilitates automatic asynchronous replication between clusters, boosting uptime and guaranteeing uninterrupted business operations.
With MSK Replicator, users can establish either active-active or active-passive cluster configurations. In an active-active configuration, both MSK clusters handle read and write operations; conversely, in an active-passive configuration, one MSK cluster manages the streaming data, with the other cluster ready as a backup.
