CoreDNS is a DNS server written in Go. It can be used in a multitude of environments because of its flexibility. The flexibility is due to CoreDNS’ unique plugin-based architecture: if some functionality is not provided out of the box, you can add it by writing a plugin. In this deep dive session, we take a detailed look at the plugin system of CoreDNS.
