How To Persist Changes to CoreDNS ConfigMap on PMK Cluster

Problem

Changes made to the CoreDNS ConfigMap do not persist after pf9-kube service restart.

Environment

  • Platform9 Managed Kubernetes - v5.1 and K8s v1.19 and Lower
  • CoreDNS

Answer

  1. When the pf9-kube service is restarted on the master nodes, the CoreDNS configurations are re-applied using the default template to ensure that resources are consistent.
  2. This is achieved by applying the template file /opt/pf9/pf9-kube/conf/addons/dns/coredns.yaml when kubectl apply is run during service startup.
  3. In order to make the changes made to CoreDNS configMap persist across the pf9-kube service restarts you can make the changes to the existing CoreDNS configMap as well as to the files /opt/pf9/pf9-kube/conf/addons/dns/coredns.yaml and /etc/pf9/kube.d/addons/dns/coredns.yaml respectively.

This will NOT ensure that the changes persist across the cluster upgrades. The changes will persist only across the service restarts.
