I just deployed a server running CentOS 8, but the dig command seems to be missing. How do I install it?

After researching this for a minute, it looks like this is a fairly common issue with servers running CentOS 8. The dig command is part of the bind-utils package and can be installed with the following command by a user with sudo privileges:
$ sudo yum install bind-utils
Note: If you're installing the package as root, you can leave out the sudo
