This addon runs a node-local-dns pod on all cluster nodes. The pod runs CoreDNS as the dns cache. It runs with `hostNetwork:True` and creates a dedicated dummy interface with a link local ip(169.254.20.10/32 by default) to listen for DNS queries. The cache instances connect to clusterDNS in case of cache misses.
This directory contains the addon config yaml - `nodelocaldns.yaml`
The variables will be substituted by the configure scripts when the yaml is copied into master.
### Network policy and DNS connectivity
When running nodelocaldns addon on clusters using network policy, additional rules might be required to enable dns connectivity.
Using a namespace selector for dns egress traffic as shown [here](https://docs.projectcalico.org/v2.6/getting-started/kubernetes/tutorials/advanced-policy)
might not be enough since the node-local-dns pods run with `hostNetwork: True`
One way to enable connectivity from node-local-dns pods to clusterDNS ip is to use an ipBlock rule instead:
