External-dns Alternatives

external-dns reviews and mentions

• Introduction to Kubernetes & EKS: Learnings & Pitfalls
  3 projects | dev.to | 28 Mar 2025

  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).

• Upgrading Hundreds of Kubernetes Clusters
  17 projects | dev.to | 3 Apr 2024

  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.

• Kubernetes External DNS provider for Hetzner
  2 projects | /r/hetzner | 3 Nov 2023

  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.

• Istio Multi-Cluster Setup
  1 project | /r/kubernetes | 25 Jun 2023

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

• Looking for ExternalDns alternative for non k8s environment
  1 project | /r/Traefik | 5 Jun 2023

  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.

• Is a Load Balancer necessary for a HA Cluster?
  1 project | /r/kubernetes | 21 May 2023

  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.

• How can I assign an EIP to a Kubernetes deployment?
  1 project | /r/aws | 9 May 2023

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

• Registering DNS with Windows Domain DNS

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

• Cluster nodes on different networks
  1 project | /r/kubernetes | 4 Apr 2023

  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)
