NodeLocal DNS

NodeLocal DNS reduces DNS query workload by running a cache on each node in a Managed Service for Kubernetes cluster. This improves cluster performance and fault tolerance.

1. Configure the application:

   • Namespace: Select the kube-system namespace.
   • Application name: Enter an application name.
   • Work with Cilium: Select this option if a cluster uses the Cilium network policy controller.

2. Click Install.

After installing NodeLocal DNS, use the following values:

• Kubernetes cluster zone: cluster.local.
• Адрес NodeLocal DNS Cache: 169.254.20.10.
• Application port for external queries: 53.
• Port for collecting metrics in Prometheus format: 9253.

Learn more about setting up local DNS caching in the Managed Service for Kubernetes documentation.

• Caching queries from applications hosted on a Managed Service for Kubernetes cluster node.
