In my case I'm dumping + zipping the entire database at the application level. In my case is as simple as adding a library [1], scheduling the job and transferring to AWS S3 (my main application is on DigitalOcean)

Database backups via php artisan backup:run

The following Kubernetes Add-Ons were utilized for this solution which worked in conjunction with one-another. a. AWS Load Balancer Controller - An amazing AddOn which automates the creation of the AWS Application Load Balancer (based on the creation of an Ingress resource) and points this at our application pods. It also magically manages the Target Group for us so that our ALB is always pointing to our live pods. b. External DNS - Updates and manages our Route53 records to point to our load balancer (again, using the config in the Ingress resource).

The second one is a combination of tools: External DNS, cert-manager, and NGINX ingress. Using these as a stack, you can quickly deploy an application, making it available through a DNS with a TLS without much effort via simple annotations. When I first discovered External DNS, I was amazed at its quality.

One of the reasons why I chose Hetzner was that it WAS supported by the ExternalDNS project. I didn't quite understand why the Hetzner provider was pulled, but I saw that an attempt of re-adding it was refused, on the ground that the upcoming webhook architecture would have allowed to better maintain providers.

Write a custom controller for the external DNS controller, or setup some form of ArgoCD app / appset templating.

so I am looking at having an automated way for new routers registered in Traefik to also have the corresponding DNS entry added to my Pihole instance similar to external-dns but obviously, this is exclusive to ingress on k8s environments. my current setup is traefik in a container on unraid.

You technically don’t need to run a load balancer or have a virtual IP for your control plane. If you control your dns, you can add an A record pointing to all IPs for your control plane nodes. It won’t load balance your traffic, but combined with something like External DNS it gives you HA for the control plane.

I normally deploy external-dns, which automatically updates DNS with the ingress controller's external IP address.

Background: Having a look I can see this https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns

3) Use the Kubernetes External-DNS. I've never used this, but this is assuming it can update DNS for each pods/app to point to the correct Node (it'd need to update my Homelab DNS running on Windows Server)
