There are several steps that are necessary to employ Kubernetes DNS for pods:
Verify that the DNS addon is enabled in your Kubernetes cluster. This can be done using the command kubectl get pods --namespace=kube-system
.
Create a pod that requires DNS resolution by including the appropriate DNS configuration settings in the pod spec. For example, use a YAML file to define a pod like this:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: my-dns-pod
spec:
containers:
- name: my-container
image: my-image
dnsPolicy: Default
command: ["/bin/sh"]
args: ["-c", "nslookup kubernetes.default"]
In this example, the dnsPolicy
setting is set to default
which means that the pod will use the cluster's DNS. The command
and args
provide a shell command to run in the container, which in this case is to look up the DNS name kubernetes.default
.
Deploy the pod using the command kubectl create -f my-dns-pod.yaml
.
Verify that the pod is running and able to successfully resolve DNS names by running the command kubectl logs my-dns-pod
.
Use DNS names to communicate between pods. For example, if you have two pods named web
and database
, you could use the DNS names web
and database
to enable communication between them:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: my-web-pod
spec:
containers:
- name: web-container
image: my-web-image
command: ["/bin/sh"]
args: ["-c", "ping -c 3 database.default.svc.cluster.local"]
In this example, the ping
command is used to send traffic to the database
pod using its full DNS name with the .default.svc.cluster.local
suffix.
