  Oh, they require all TCP connections to go through that. That's a bit heavy-handed — requires rewriting all client code to adapt to that pattern. The nice thing about KubeDNS is that you don't have to. Same with Istio.

    Integrating with app code is optional. The default is to use a sidecar.

    I brought up the native client because you mentioned "they should have defined a new API".

      That wasn't me. I'd argue the opposite. Though I'd also maybe argue that SRV records is what we should have standardized on for this stuff a long time ago.
