🔹 Feature: LocalDNS in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
🔹 What It Does: Previously, we used a dedicated Pod for DNS caching (e.g., DNS Defender). Now, AKS offers a built-in LocalDNS solution for improved performance and resiliency.
What is it giving you:
✅ Enhanced Performance: Faster DNS resolution across your AKS workloads.
✅ Improved Resiliency: Reduces DNS-related downtime and dependency on external resolvers.
✅ Simplified Operations: No need to manage extra pods or sidecar containers for DNS caching.
✅ Optimized Resource Usage: Fewer Pods and less overhead for DNS management.
✅ Built-In Security: Integrated solution reduces the attack surface and leverages AKS best practices.
