- blincoln 3y agoI don't know of a non-Kubernetes situation off the top of my head where this would be an issue, but I definitely learned some new things about DNS resolution on Linux by reading the article, and so I'll think to look for similar scenarios in the future.
- hitpointdrew 3y agoI don't know why node local dns isn't installed by default on a vanilla k8s setup. Seems like it would reduce a lot of headache.
- stackskipton 3y agoBecause you generally only need to do DNS lookup at app startup and you are done. So node local is overhead and complexity you rarely need. In this case, it was present and I wonder if this level of complexity was one of reasons for the outage.
