My microk8s cluster is running on a centos8 vm and I have some issues with DNS resolution of my pods. Nameserver are at x.x.x.101 and x.x.x.100 both are ping able from within the pods and I can also ping 8.8.8.8
nslookup from within a pod looks like this:
root@debug-7857894f66-mnklp:/# nslookup kubernetes.default
Server: 10.152.183.10
Address: 10.152.183.10#53
Name: kubernetes.default.svc.cluster.local
Address: 10.152.183.1
coredns config looks like this:
apiVersion: v1
data:
Corefile: ".:53 {\n errors\n health {\n lameduck 5s\n }\n ready\n
\ log . {\n class error\n }\n kubernetes cluster.local in-addr.arpa
ip6.arpa {\n pods insecure\n fallthrough in-addr.arpa ip6.arpa\n }\n
\ prometheus :9153\n forward . x.x.x.101 x.x.x.100 \n cache 30\n
\ loop\n reload\n loadbalance\n}\n"

uid: 471b258a-253d-4b51-aaf7-7e934ab300d1
the /etc/resolv.conf in my pods looks like this:
search default.svc.cluster.local svc.cluster.local cluster.local xxx.xxxxx
nameserver 10.152.183.10
options ndots:5
when I look at the logs of my kube-dns with $ microk8s kubectl logs --namespace=kube-system -l k8s-app=kube-dns I get the following response:
[INFO] 10.1.107.105:47549 - 5288 "AAAA IN www.google.com. udp 36 false 512" NOERROR - 0 0.000256103s
[ERROR] plugin/errors: 2 www.google.com. AAAA: read udp 10.1.107.127:51486->x.x.x.101:53: read: no route to host
DNS service is up:
$ microk8s kubectl get svc --namespace=kube-system
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
[...]
kube-dns ClusterIP 10.152.183.10 <none> 53/UDP,53/TCP,9153/TCP 21d
DNS endpoints are exposed:
$ microk8s kubectl get endpoints kube-dns --namespace=kube-system
NAME ENDPOINTS AGE
kube-dns 10.1.107.127:53,10.1.107.127:53,10.1.107.127:9153 21d
The virtual machine the cluster is running on is using the same nameserver without a problem. Is this something I need to bother our admins about, or am I missing something that is wrongly configured?
EDIT:
Okay I tried out a bit more and there is some weird behavior that I think has to do with me incorrectly creating the coredns config file. I completely reset the cluster and tried again, still same error when I use 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 as DNS servers. But, when I run the following command: $ microk8s enable dns:x.x.x.101,x.x.x.100 finally it works. Then I tried to configure for this with $ microk8s kubectl -n kube-system edit configmap/coredns and I add both DNS to the config it stops working, and I again get the error: [ERROR] plugin/errors: 2 www.google.com. AAAA: read udp 10.1.107.127:51486->x.x.x.101:53: read: no route to host so what is wrong with my configuration that is automatically correctly set with $ microk8s enable dns:x.x.x.101,x.x.x.100 ?
2nd Edit
I tried to use dig here even when I specify a DNS server it is not working. Is there any reason ping could go through but DNS is blocked by the system? It only happens on the microk8s cluster, host system runs fin docker runs fine ...
here are the printouts:
this is from within the pod:
