Why is CoreDNS Resolving via Upstream Google DNS (8.8.8.8)?

hashtag
Problem

CoreDNS is resolving all cluster DNS queries via the upstream Google DNS address – 8.8.8.8. Why? Is this the expected default behavior?

Answer

If no nameservers are specified within /etc/hosts – inherited from the node – Docker will default to using Google DNS (8.8.8.8) as the upstream resolver.
