CoreDNS
The CoreDNS Amazon EKS add-on is a flexible, extensible DNS server that can serve as
the Kubernetes cluster DNS. The self-managed or managed type of this add-on was
installed, by default, when you created your cluster. When you launch an Amazon EKS
cluster with at least one node, two replicas of the CoreDNS image are deployed by
default, regardless of the number of nodes deployed in your cluster. The CoreDNS
Pods provide name resolution for all Pods in the
cluster. You can deploy the CoreDNS Pods to Fargate nodes if your
cluster includes an Amazon Fargate profile with a namespace that matches the namespace for the CoreDNS
deployment
.
The Amazon EKS add-on name is coredns
.
Required IAM permissions
This add-on doesn't require any permissions.
