About:
CoreDNS is a fast and flexible DNS server that runs as a local service resolver or a cluster-wide authoritative server. It uses a modular plugin architecture to chain functionality like service discovery, load balancing, and caching. Its lightweight design and native integration with Kubernetes make it the default DNS provider for modern container orchestration.
Key Features:
  • Modular plugin architecture for custom DNS behavior
  • First-class support for Kubernetes service discovery
  • High performance with low memory footprint
  • Supports DNS standards including DNSSEC and DoH/DoT
Use Cases:
  • Providing cluster DNS and service discovery in Kubernetes
  • Running a local caching or forwarding DNS resolver
  • Hosting authoritative zones for internal domains
Alternatives:
  • dnsmasq – Simpler to configure for basic caching/DHCP but lacks CoreDNS's extensible plugin architecture and Kubernetes-native features.
  • unbound – Focuses on security and recursive resolution with strong DNSSEC validation, while CoreDNS emphasizes flexibility and integration.
