Resolve DNS
This feature is available in the vCluster Pro tier. Contact us for more details and to start a trial.
This feature enables adding custom DNS rules to the virtual cluster to allow communication with services deployed in the host cluster and across services in separate vCluster instances.
Examplesβ
Map a hostnameβ
This is a URL-based mapping of one virtual cluster hostname to another hostname. A wikipedia.com
DNS lookup would return a DNS response with answer as en.wikipedia.org
.
networking:
resolveDNS:
- hostname: wikipedia.com
target:
hostname: en.wikipedia.org
Map a hostname wildcardβ
This is a URL-based mapping of one virtual cluster hostname to another hostname. A test.svc.kubernetes
DNS lookup would return a DNS response with answer as test.svc.cluster.local
.
networking:
resolveDNS:
- hostname: *.svc.kubernetes
target:
hostname: *.svc.cluster.local
Map a virtual cluster service to a host cluster serviceβ
This example maps the virtual cluster's my-namespace/my-svc
resource to the host cluster's dns-test/nginx-svc
resource. The DNS response is the nginx-svc
IP in the host's dns-test
namespace.
networking:
resolveDNS:
- service: my-namespace/my-svc
target:
hostService: dns-test/nginx-svc
Map services across vCluster instancesβ
This example maps a virtual cluster Service to another Service in a separate virtual cluster.
my-ns-in-vcluster/my-svc-vcluster
maps to dns-test-in-vcluster-ns/test-in-vcluster-service
in a vCluster instance named test-cluster
deployed in the host namespace test-vcluster-ns
.
networking:
resolveDNS:
- service: my-ns-in-vcluster/my-svc-vcluster
target:
vClusterService: test-vcluster-ns/test-vcluster/dns-test-in-vcluster-ns/test-in-vcluster-service
Map namespacesβ
Map all services under a virtual cluster namespace to a host namespace. This host namespace could also contain another vCluster instance, thereby mapping all vCluster services to another vCluster instance.
networking:
resolveDNS:
- namespace: test-in-vcluster-ns
target:
hostNamespace: external-vc-ns
All services in the test-vcluster
virtual cluster's target namespace test-in-vcluster-ns
map to namespace external-vc-ns
.
