Welcome to the second edition of **[The DOCOM Weekly](https://dev.to/t/docomweekly)**, your weekly digest featuring some of the best content published in and around the [DigitalOcean Community](https://digitalocean.com/community).

I’m Lisa, a member on the Developer Education team, and I’m excited about sharing knowledge throughout the developer community. Today’s roundup includes DNS management, speeding up Docker workflows, canary deployments with Istio and Kubernetes, and more!

We’ll begin with our featured posts from the past week on the DigitalOcean Community:

### [How To Deploy and Manage Your DNS using DNSControl on Ubuntu 18.04](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-deploy-and-manage-your-dns-using-dnscontrol-on-ubuntu-18-04)

[Jamie Scaife](https://www.jamieweb.net/) with editor [Kathryn Hancox](https://dev.to/kathancox) walk you through using DNSControl to eliminate many of the pain points of manual DNS management. This tutorial was published through our [Write for DOnations](https://www.digitalocean.com/write-for-donations/) program, with funding going to the [Electronic Frontier Foundation](https://www.brightfunds.org/organizations/electronic-frontier-foundation-inc).

### [How To Use a Remote Docker Server to Speed Up Your Workflow](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-a-remote-docker-server-to-speed-up-your-workflow)

This tutorial, written by [Kamal Nasser](https://dev.to/kamaln7) and edited by [Brian P. Hogan](https://dev.to/bphogan), helps you get your work done faster by demonstrating how to offload Docker tasks to a remote server so your local machine doesn’t have to do the heavy lifting.


### [How To Do Canary Deployments With Istio and Kubernetes](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-do-canary-deployments-with-istio-and-kubernetes)

If you would like to build out canary deployments with Istio and Kubernetes, you can learn how to do so through reading this tutorial by [Kathleen Juell](https://dev.to/katjuell). This article will guide you through creating a canary deployment of a demo Node.js application, providing you with a basis for your own work.

### Featured Q&A

The [DigitalOcean Community Questions](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions) section of our Community site is a space for you to ask a development question or provide an answer for others. Here are some questions on the minds of members of the community from the past week.
