About
CoreDNS is an open-source DNS server written in Go, designed for flexibility through a plugin-based architecture. It supports multiple protocols including plain DNS, DNS over TLS, DNS over HTTPS, and DNS over gRPC. It is widely used in cloud-native environments, including as the default DNS server for Kubernetes.
Problem
Teams need a flexible, performant DNS server that can be extended and configured for diverse environments including cloud-native service discovery.
For
DevOps engineers, platform teams, and developers running Kubernetes or custom DNS infrastructure
How it works
CoreDNS processes DNS queries through a chain of composable plugins, each of which can inspect, modify, respond to, or forward the query, all configured via a simple Corefile.
