|

Here is an approximate picture of how DNS things working and
|
||||
being configured by Kargo ansible playbooks:

||||

||||
![Image](figures/dns.png?raw=true)
|
||||
![Image](figures/dns.jpeg?raw=true)
|
||||
|
||||
Note that an additional dnsmasq daemon set is installed by Kargo
|
||||
by default. Kubelet will configure DNS base of all pods to use that
|
||||
dnsmasq cluster IP. You can disable it with the ``skip_dnsmasq``
|
||||
var. This may be the case, if you're fine with Linux limit of max 3
|
||||
nameservers in the ``/etc/resolv.conf``. When skipped and bypassed
|
||||
directly to Kubedns's dnsmasq cluster IP, it greatly simplifies things
|
||||
by the price of limited nameservers though.
|
||||
by default. Kubelet will configure DNS base of all pods to use the
|
||||
given dnsmasq cluster IP, which is defined via the ``dns_server`` var.
|
||||
The dnsmasq forwards requests for a given cluster ``dns_domain`` to
|
||||
Kubedns's SkyDns service. The SkyDns server is configured to be an
|
||||
authoritative DNS server for the given cluser domain (and its subdomains
|
||||
up to ``ndots:5`` depth). Note: you should scale its replication controller
|
||||
up, if SkyDns chokes. These two layered DNS forwarders provide HA for the
|
||||
DNS cluster IP endpoint, which is a critical moving part for Kubernetes apps.
|
||||
|
||||
Nameservers are configured in the hosts' ``/etc/resolv.conf`` files
|
||||
from the ``nameservers`` (see also ``searchdomains``) vars. While the
|
||||
``upstream_dns_servers`` will define additional DNS servers for the
|
||||
dnsmasq daemon set running on all hosts (unless bypassed with
|
||||
``skip_dnsmasq``).
|
||||
Nameservers are as well configured in the hosts' ``/etc/resolv.conf`` files,
|
||||
as the given DNS cluster IP merged with ``nameservers`` values. While the
|
||||
DNS cluster IP merged with the ``upstream_dns_servers`` defines additional
|
||||
nameservers for the aforementioned nsmasq daemon set running on all hosts.
|
||||
This mitigates existing Linux limitation of max 3 nameservers in the
|
||||
``/etc/resolv.conf`` and also brings an additional caching layer for the
|
||||
clustered DNS services.
|
||||
|
||||
You can skip the dnsmasq daemon set install steps by setting the
|
||||
``skip_dnsmasq: true``. This may be the case, if you're fine with
|
||||
the nameservers limitation. Sadly, there is no way to work around the
|
||||
search domain limitations of a 256 chars and 6 domains. Thus, you can
|
||||
use the ``searchdomains`` var to define no more than a three custom domains.
|
||||
Remaining three slots are reserved for K8s cluster default subdomains.
|
||||
|
||||
When dnsmasq skipped, Kargo redefines the DNS cluster IP to point directly
|
||||
to SkyDns cluster IP ``skydns_server`` and configures Kubelet's
|
||||
``--dns_cluster`` to use that IP as well. While this greatly simplifies
|
||||
things, it comes by the price of limited nameservers though. As you know now,
|
||||
the DNS cluster IP takes a slot in the ``/etc/resolv.conf``, thus you can
|
||||
specify no more than a two nameservers for infra and/or external use.
|
||||
Those may be specified either in ``nameservers`` or ``upstream_dns_servers``
|
||||
and will be merged together with the ``skydns_server`` IP into the hots'
|
||||
``/etc/resolv.conf``.
|
||||
|
||||
Kargo has yet ways to configure Kubedns addon to forward requests SkyDns can
|
||||
not answer with authority to arbitrary recursive resolvers. This task is left
|
||||
for future. See [official SkyDns docs](https://github.com/skynetservices/skydns)
|
||||
for details.
