## Introduction
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you have seen our
|
||||||
|
[article about running kubernetes
|
||||||
|
Ingress-less](/u/blog/kubernetes-without-ingress/), you are aware that
|
||||||
|
we are pushing IPv6 only kubernetes clusters at ungleich.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Today, we are looking at making the "internal" kube-dns service world
|
||||||
|
reachable using IPv6 and global DNS servers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## The kubernetes DNS service
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you have a look at your typical k8s cluster, you will notice that
|
||||||
|
you usually have two coredns pods running:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
% kubectl -n kube-system get pods -l k8s-app=kube-dns
|
||||||
|
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
|
||||||
|
coredns-558bd4d5db-gz5c7 1/1 Running 0 6d
|
||||||
|
coredns-558bd4d5db-hrzhz 1/1 Running 0 6d
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These pods are usually served by the **kube-dns** service:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
% kubectl -n kube-system get svc -l k8s-app=kube-dns
|
||||||
|
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
|
||||||
|
kube-dns ClusterIP 2a0a:e5c0:13:e2::a <none> 53/UDP,53/TCP,9153/TCP 6d1h
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As you can see, the kube-dns service is running on a publicly
|
||||||
|
reachable IPv6 address.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## IPv6 only DNS
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
IPv6 only DNS servers have one drawback: they cannot be reached via DNS
|
||||||
|
recursions, if the resolver is IPv4 only.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At [ungleich we run a variety of
|
||||||
|
services](https://redmine.ungleich.ch/projects/open-infrastructure/wiki)
|
||||||
|
to make IPv6 only services usable in the real world. In case of DNS,
|
||||||
|
we are using **DNS forwarders**. They are acting similar to HTTP
|
||||||
|
proxies, but for DNS.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So in our main DNS servers, dns1.ungleich.ch, dns2.ungleich.ch
|
||||||
|
and dns3.ungleich.ch we have added the following configuration:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
zone "k8s.place7.ungleich.ch" {
|
||||||
|
type forward;
|
||||||
|
forward only;
|
||||||
|
forwarders { 2a0a:e5c0:13:e2::a; };
|
||||||
|
};
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This tells the DNS servers to forward DNS queries that come in for
|
||||||
|
k8s.place7.ungleich.ch to **2a0a:e5c0:13:e2::a**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Additionally we have added **DNS delegation** in the
|
||||||
|
place7.ungleich.ch zone:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
k8s NS dns1.ungleich.ch.
|
||||||
|
k8s NS dns2.ungleich.ch.
|
||||||
|
k8s NS dns3.ungleich.ch.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Using the kubernetes DNS service in the wild
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
With this configuration, we can now access IPv6 only
|
||||||
|
kubernetes services directly from the Internet. Let's first discover
|
||||||
|
the kube-dns service itself:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
% dig kube-dns.kube-system.svc.k8s.place7.ungleich.ch. aaaa
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
; <<>> DiG 9.16.16 <<>> kube-dns.kube-system.svc.k8s.place7.ungleich.ch. aaaa
|
||||||
|

||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As you can see, the **kube-dns** service in the **kube-system**
|
||||||
|
namespace resolves to 2a0a:e5c0:13:e2::a, which is exactly what we
|
||||||
|
have configured.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At the moment, there is also an etherpad test service
|
||||||
|
named "ungleich-etherpad" running:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
% kubectl get svc -l app=ungleichetherpad
|
||||||
|
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
|
||||||
|
ungleich-etherpad ClusterIP 2a0a:e5c0:13:e2::b7db <none> 9001/TCP 3d19h
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Let's first verify that it resolves:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
% dig +short ungleich-etherpad.default.svc.k8s.place7.ungleich.ch aaaa
|
||||||
|
2a0a:e5c0:13:e2::b7db
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And if that works, well, then we should also be able to access the
|
||||||
|
service itself!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
% curl -I http://ungleich-etherpad.default.svc.k8s.place7.ungleich.ch:9001/

### Update 2021-06-13: Ingress vs. Service
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As some people pointed out (thanks a lot!), a public service is
|
||||||
|
**not the same** as an Ingress. Ingress has also the possibility to
|
||||||
|
route based on layer 7 information like the path, domain name, etc.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
However, if all of the traffic from an Ingress points to a single
|
||||||
|
IPv6 HTTP/HTTPS Service, effectively the IPv6 service will do the
|
||||||
|
same, with one hop less.

||||||
