CoreDNS Deployment

We will use an ArogCD Cluster generator to deploy the CoreDNS components on each region marked with edgecdnx.com/routing tag.

Required variables

For each region define the following variables:

• edgecdnx.com/namespace: Defines the working namespace for reading CRDs
• edgecdnx.com/public-ip: Defines the Public IP of the DNS endpoint
• edgecdnx.com/ns: Identifies the NS id. e.g. "1", turns to ns1, "2" to ns2

Example:

kind: Secret
metadata:
  annotations:
    edgecdnx.com/namespace: edgecdnx
    edgecdnx.com/ns: "1"
    edgecdnx.com/public-ip: 188.167.203.182
  labels:
    argocd.argoproj.io/secret-type: cluster
    edgecdnx.com/location: us-east-1
    edgecdnx.com/routing: "true"
  name: cluster-us-east-1.k8s.edgecdnx.com

Applicationset Manifest

Prerequisites

• CRDs Installed

Components

• CoreDNS
• Module Configuration
• Geolookup MMDB-Lite DB
• CoreDNS RBAC - to be able to read CRDs.

CoreDNS Required modules

• Metadata
• GeoIP
• Ready
• EdgeCDN-X Specific Modules:
  • edgecdnxprefixlist
  • edgecdnxgeolookup
  • edgecdnxservices

Use the following applicationset on the control plane to roll out CoreDNS to each region.
