Configuring ExternalDNS to use Cluster Nodes as Source

This tutorial describes how to configure ExternalDNS to use the cluster nodes as source. Using nodes (--source=node) as source is possible to synchronize a DNS zone with the nodes of a cluster.

The node source adds an A record per each node externalIP (if not found, node's internalIP is used). The TTL record can be set with the external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/ttl node annotation.

Manifest (for cluster without RBAC enabled)
