ClouDNS vs Volatility: at a glance
What is ClouDNS?
ClouDNS widens its SSL catalog and adds maintenance windows to monitoring
ClouDNS keeps adding direct registry accreditations, with .LOVE, .BAR, .CLICK, .TO, .DIY, .FOOD and others since mid-September. Alongside them it is building out the services around domains: Maintenance Mode for monitoring checks, new Status Page alert options, and now RapidSSL and Actalis certificates, including wildcard options.
What is Volatility?
Volatility 3 2.28.2 adds Mermaid tree output and starts deprecating macOS analysis.
Volatility 3 reached functional parity with Volatility 2 in 2.26.0, then reorganised malware plugins into their own namespace and added an arrow/parquet renderer. 2.28.0 in April brought Linux sockscan and process_spoofing. 2.28.2 in September adds a Mermaid renderer for tree relationships, lets Linux malfind dump enumerated VMAs, verifies Intel layers with translation checks, and adds a deprecation warning for macOS analysis.

ClouDNS widens its SSL catalog and adds maintenance windows to monitoring
◆ Current state
ClouDNS keeps adding direct registry accreditations, with .LOVE, .BAR, .CLICK, .TO, .DIY, .FOOD and others since mid-September. Alongside them it is building out the services around domains: Maintenance Mode for monitoring checks, new Status Page alert options, and now RapidSSL and Actalis certificates, including wildcard options.
◆ Where it's heading
The registrar expansion continues at roughly one batch of TLDs a month, while monitoring and SSL become fuller products in their own right. The direction is a one-stop domain, DNS, certificate and uptime provider.
◆ Prediction
Another batch of TLD accreditations is the likeliest next entry; further monitoring features look likely given two releases since September.

Volatility 3 2.28.2 adds Mermaid tree output and starts deprecating macOS analysis.
◆ Current state
Volatility 3 reached functional parity with Volatility 2 in 2.26.0, then reorganised malware plugins into their own namespace and added an arrow/parquet renderer. 2.28.0 in April brought Linux sockscan and process_spoofing. 2.28.2 in September adds a Mermaid renderer for tree relationships, lets Linux malfind dump enumerated VMAs, verifies Intel layers with translation checks, and adds a deprecation warning for macOS analysis.
◆ Where it's heading
Development is narrowing toward Windows and Linux, with output formats that feed other tools. The macOS warning is the first sign of support being cut back.
◆ Prediction
Expect macOS analysis support to be reduced or removed in a later release; the entries don't say when.
