## Baseline
|
|
|
|
### DNS Components
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
graph LR
|
|
Application-->NodeLocalDNS-->CoreDNS-->Upstream
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Problems
|
|
|
|
- Many hidden systems
|
|
- Not easy to trace across clusters
|
|
|
|
## Tools
|
|
|
|
> Demo queries are located in the slides and were executed during the stream
|
|
|
|
### CoreDNS Log Plugin
|
|
|
|
- Core-Plugin (just needs to be activated)
|
|
- Logs all requests to stdout
|
|
|
|
### Hubble
|
|
|
|
- Cilium observability needs cilium l7 proxy, runs as deamonset
|
|
- Needs CiliumNetworkPolicies for AppPod and CoreDNS
|
|
- Metrics, UI and cli with jq (and protocol filter)
|
|
|
|
### Inspector Gadget
|
|
|
|
- Toolset for Kubernetes and Linux that can be customized
|
|
- Runns as daemonset or debug pod - gadgets are distributed as containers (via artifactorhub)
|
|
- DNS-Gadget: Trace via ebpf, post process with wasm
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
- CoreDNS: Great for initial, nut only CoreDNS
|
|
- Hubble: Compact overview, but cilium needed with special configs
|
|
- Inspector Gadget: Rich DNS traces, limited tcp support |
