Running your own DNS isn't as hard as you think
1 comments

I'm not saying that it's too hard at all (even though servers like BIND could probably use some UX improvements), just that not everyone would approve of you running your own server for any given project. And sometimes adding/changing records on the org-wide server must be "thrown over the wall", which will be slow.

Furthermore, if you have 5 different projects that you need to work on and each of those would have their own separate DNS servers, you might find yourself in a slightly uncomfortable situation.

Most container orchestration solutions don't have that problem, because they embed their own server and provide the necessary proxying solutions so that you may connect to the cluster from outside as well.
