DNS/DHCP + Network Architecture pro-tip, best practices

I'm looking to pull together a tips and tricks/best practices guide for customers in the early stages of their journey (feedback I get is there's a gap between the way things are taught and the ways the pros have learned things ACTUALLY work after 10+ years in the trade). I'm trying to uncover any and all pro-tips, when you do X always remember Y, best practices, here's something I screwed up big time once and how it fixed it...

Any input is appreciated (even if it's to troll and say "always make sure your device is plugged in"). I realize this is a vague and broad ask, but based on the feedback it might help me to dig deeper into one area or another. Some more specific areas that might be of interest for your insight would be....

  1. What’s your redundancy config? have you tried the failover? what’s your availability objectives? do you know?
  2. How to assign access rights - can tagging, templates, blocks, etc help?
  3. Common Challenges and strategies
  4. How Dynamic DNS actually works
  5. Multiple hostnames, cleaning + maintenance
  6. IPv6 Planning Considerations - IPAM focus
  7. Certificate deployment + Key rotations
  8. Zone Best Practices (zone forwarding vs delegation + Zone Architecture)
