## What It Does
-Inspired by [Kubernetes DNS](https://github.com/kubernetes/dns), Kubernetes' cluster-internal DNS server, ExternalDNS makes Kubernetes resources discoverable via public DNS servers. Like KubeDNS, it retrieves a list of resources (Services, Ingresses, etc.) from the [Kubernetes API](https://kubernetes.io/docs/api/) to determine a desired list of DNS records. *Unlike* KubeDNS, however, it's not a DNS server itself, but merely configures other DNS providers accordingly—e.g. [AWS Route 53](https://aws.amazon.com/route53/) or [Google Cloud DNS](https://cloud.google.com/dns/docs/).

Now you can experiment and watch how ExternalDNS makes sure that your DNS records are configured as desired. Here are a couple of things you can try out:
-* Change the desired hostname by modifying the Service's annotation.
-* Recreate the Service and see that the DNS record will be updated to point to the new load balancer IP.
-* Add another Service to create more DNS records.

+They implement the `Source` interface that has a single method `Endpoints` which returns the represented source's objects converted to `Endpoints`. Endpoints are just a tuple of DNS name and target where target can be an IP or another hostname.
-For example, the `ServiceSource` returns all Services converted to `Endpoints` where the hostname is the value of the `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname` annotation and the target is the IP of the load balancer or where the hostname is the value of the `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/internal-hostname` annotation and the target is the IP of the service ClusterIP.
+For example, the `ServiceSource` returns all Services converted to `Endpoints` where the hostname is the value of the `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname` annotation and the target is the IP of the load balancer or the target is the IP of the service ClusterIP.
This list of endpoints is passed to the [Plan](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns/tree/master/plan) which determines the difference between the current DNS records and the desired list of `Endpoints`.
-Once the difference has been figured out the list of intended changes is passed to a `Registry` which live in the [registry](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns/tree/master/registry) package. The registry is a wrapper and access point to DNS provider. Registry implements the ownership concept by marking owned records and filtering out records not owned by ExternalDNS before passing them to DNS provider.

The orchestration between the different components is controlled by the [controller](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns/tree/master/controller).
You can pick which `Source` and `Provider` to use at runtime via the `--source` and `--provider` flags, respectively.

+## Adding a DNS Provider
A typical way to start on, e.g. a CoreDNS provider, would be to add a `coredns.go` to the providers package and implement the interface methods. Then you would have to register your provider under a name in `main.go`, e.g. `coredns`, and would be able to trigger it's functions via setting `--provider=coredns`.
Note, how your provider doesn't need to know anything about where the DNS records come from, nor does it have to figure out the difference between the current and the desired state, it merely executes the actions calculated by the plan.

setting the `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/ingress-hostname-source` annotation on that ingress to either `defined-hosts-only` or `annotation-only`.
2. If compatibility mode is enabled (e.g. `--compatibility={mate,molecule}` flag), External DNS will parse annotations used by Zalando/Mate, wearemolecule/route53-kubernetes. Compatibility mode with Kops DNS Controller is planned to be added in the future.
3. If `--fqdn-template` flag is specified, e.g. `--fqdn-template={{.Name}}.my-org.com`, ExternalDNS will use service/ingress specifications for the provided template to generate DNS name.

+## Can I specify multiple global FQDN templates?
Yes, you can. Pass in a comma separated list to `--fqdn-template`. Beaware this will double (triple, etc) the amount of DNS entries based on how many services, ingresses and so on you have and will get you faster towards the API request limit of your DNS provider.

We strive to make the migration from these implementations a smooth experience. This means that, for some time, we'll support their annotation semantics in ExternalDNS and allow both implementations to run side-by-side. This enables you to migrate incrementally and slowly phase out the other implementation.

-ExternalDNS will allow you to opt into any Services and Ingresses that you want it to consider, by an annotation. This way, it can co-exist with other implementations running in the same cluster if they also support this pattern. However, we'll most likely declare ExternalDNS to be the default implementation. This means that ExternalDNS will consider Services and Ingresses that don't specifically declare which controller they want to be processed by; this is similar to the `ingress.class` annotation on GKE.

+## Why is ExternalDNS only adding a single IP address in Route 53 on AWS when using the `nginx-ingress-controller` ?
By default the `nginx-ingress-controller` assigns a single IP address to an Ingress resource when it's created. ExternalDNS uses what's assigned to the Ingress resource, so it too will use this single IP address when adding the record in Route 53.
-In most AWS deployments, you'll instead want the Route 53 entry to be the FQDN of the ELB that is assigned to the `nginx-ingress-controller` Service. To accomplish this, when you create the `nginx-ingress-controller` Deployment, you need to provide the `--publish-service` option to the `/nginx-ingress-controller` executable under `args`. Once this is deployed new Ingress resources will get the ELB's FQDN and ExternalDNS will use the same when creating records in Route 53.

CNAMEs cannot co-exist with other records, therefore you can use the `--txt-prefix` flag which makes sure to create a TXT record with a name following the pattern `prefix.`. For reference, see the issue https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns/issues/262.

+## Can I force ExternalDNS to create CNAME records for ELB/ALB?
The default logic is: when a target looks like an ELB/ALB, ExternalDNS will create ALIAS records for it.
Under certain circumstances you want to force ExternalDNS to create CNAME records instead. If you want to do that, start ExternalDNS with the `--aws-prefer-cname` flag.
Why should I want to force ExternalDNS to create CNAME records for ELB/ALB? Some motivations of users were:
-> "Our hosted zones records are synchronized with our enterprise DNS. The record type ALIAS is an AWS proprietary record type and AWS allows you to set a DNS record directly on AWS resources. Since this is not a DNS RfC standard and therefore can not be transferred and created in our enterprise DNS. So we need to force CNAME creation instead."

or
> "In case of ALIAS if we do nslookup with domain name, it will return only IPs of ELB. So it is always difficult for us to locate ELB in AWS console to which domain is pointing. If we configure it with CNAME it will return exact ELB CNAME, which is more helpful.!"

-Configure NAT64 DNS Records
-=======================================
+# Configure NAT64 DNS Records
Some NAT64 configurations are entirely handled outside the Kubernetes cluster, therefore Kubernetes does not know anything about the associated IPv4 addresses. ExternalDNS should also be able to create A records for those cases.
Therefore, we can configure `nat64-networks`, which **must** be a /96 network. You can also specify multiple `nat64-networks` for more complex setups.
This creates an additional A record with a NAT64-translated IPv4 address for each AAAA record pointing to an IPv6 address within the given `nat64-networks`.
This can be configured with the following flag passed to the operator binary. You can also pass multiple `nat64-networks` by using a comma as seperator.
+
```sh
--nat64-networks="2001:db8:96::/96"
```
-
## Setup Example
We use an external NAT64 resolver and SIIT (Stateless IP/ICMP Translation). Therefore, our nodes only have IPv6 IP adresses but can reach IPv4 addresses *and* can be reached via IPv4.
-Outgoing connections are a classic NAT64 setup, where all IPv6 addresses gets translated to a small pool of IPv4 addresses.
-Incoming connnections are mapped on a different IPv4 pool, e.g. `198.51.100.0/24`, which can get translated one-to-one to IPv6 addresses. We dedicate a `/96` network for this, for example `2001:db8:96::/96`, so `198.51.100.0/24` can translated to `2001:db8:96::c633:6400/120`. Note: `/120` IPv6 network has exactly as many IP addresses as `/24` IPv4 network.

-Therefore, the `/96` network can be configured as `nat64-networks`. This means, that `2001:0DB8:96::198.51.100.10` or `2001:db8:96::c633:640a` can be translated to `198.51.100.10`.
-Any source can point a record to an IPv6 address within the given `nat64-networks`, for example `2001:db8:96::c633:640a`. This creates by default an AAAA record and - if `nat64-networks` is configured - also an A record with `198.51.100.10` as target.

The TXT registry supports two formats for storing DNS record metadata:

- Legacy format: Creates a TXT record without record type information
- New format: Creates a TXT record with record type information (e.g., 'a-' prefix for A records)
By default, the TXT registry creates records in both formats for backwards compatibility. You can configure it to use only the new format by using the `--txt-new-format-only` flag. This reduces the number of TXT records created, which can be helpful when working with provider-specific record limits.
Note: The following record types always use only the new format regardless of this setting:

- AAAA records

CRD source watches for a user specified CRD to extract [Endpoints](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns/blob/HEAD/endpoint/endpoint.go) from its `Spec`.
So users need to create such a CRD and register it to the kubernetes cluster and then create new object(s) of the CRD specifying the Endpoints.
