In this lab you will deploy the DNS add-on which provides DNS based service discovery to applications running inside the Kubernetes cluster.
Deploy the coredns
cluster add-on:
kubectl create -f https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-the-hard-way/coredns.yaml
output
serviceaccount/coredns created
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/system:coredns created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/system:coredns created
configmap/coredns created
deployment.apps/coredns created
service/kube-dns created
List the pods created by the kube-dns
deployment:
kubectl get pods -l k8s-app=kube-dns -n kube-system
output
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
coredns-589fff4ffc-6k6h4 1/1 Running 0 22s
coredns-589fff4ffc-cqjsg 1/1 Running 0 22s
Create a busybox
deployment:
kubectl run busybox --image=busybox --command -- sleep 3600
List the pod created by the busybox
deployment:
kubectl get pods -l run=busybox
output
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
busybox-2125412808-mt2vb 1/1 Running 0 15s
Retrieve the full name of the busybox
pod:
POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods -l run=busybox -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
Execute a DNS lookup for the kubernetes
service inside the busybox
pod:
kubectl exec -ti $POD_NAME -- nslookup kubernetes
output
Server: 10.32.0.10
Address 1: 10.32.0.10 kube-dns.kube-system.svc.cluster.local
Name: kubernetes
Address 1: 10.32.0.1 kubernetes.default.svc.cluster.local
To enable upstream DNS resolution just download and modify the coredns.yaml
int the Corefile
section as follows:
Corefile: |
.:53 {
errors
health
ready
kubernetes cluster.local in-addr.arpa ip6.arpa {
pods insecure
upstream
fallthrough in-addr.arpa ip6.arpa
}
forward . 8.8.8.8
prometheus :9153
cache 30
loop
reload
loadbalance
}
