CoreDNS
Fast, flexible, open-source DNS server and service discovery
CoreDNS is an open-source DNS server written in Go, designed for flexibility through a plugin-based architecture. It supports multiple protocols including plain DNS, DNS over TLS, DNS over HTTPS, and DNS over gRPC. It is widely used in cloud-native environments, including as the default DNS server for Kubernetes.
CoreDNS processes DNS queries through a chain of composable plugins, each of which can inspect, modify, respond to, or forward the query, all configured via a simple Corefile.
