Service Discovery With Hybrid and Multi-Cloud: Introduction to CoreDNS

on YouTube ↗41m

" summary

CoreDNS is a plugin-driven DNS server that serves Kubernetes and hybrid/multi-cloud service discovery, claims Kubernetes uses it as the default DNS since 1.11, and reports 100 contributors, 14 maintainers, 46M Docker Hub pulls. It uses plugins (Route53, Azure, Google Cloud DNS) and talks to cloud APIs over HTTPS (not UDP). The demo wires CoreDNS to Route53 and Google Cloud DNS and a Whoami fallback, successfully resolving AWS and GCP records and returning the Whoami response when others don’t match. Configuration is a terse Corefile and plugins are compiled into the binary.
