Come on. Firewall rules is one sed call. IDS are dinosaurs and junk that are generally worthless (feel free to show me otherwise).

Since all major OS support ipv6 there's nothing to educate about other than perhaps new IP address form.

Software upgrades? Like what software, OS to support NAT64? Which every major OS supports? (Including Windows 7. The holdouts are ancient telephones and tiny embedded trash.)

Toolchain updates are important... if you use IP addresses directly, bypass the OS network stack and so not support names. This likely means that software is junk that should've been replaced years ago and likely some internal cookery.

This leaves tests and dynamic DNS.
