CoreDNS

CoreDNS is a flexible, open-source software that helps computers find and connect to each other over a network by translating human-friendly domain names (like example.com) into IP addresses. Think of it as a phone book for the internet or local networks, efficiently managing how devices locate services. It's often used in cloud environments and container systems like Kubernetes to streamline service discovery, ensuring that applications and services can reliably communicate regardless of where they are hosted. CoreDNS's modular design allows it to be customized with different plugins to suit various networking needs.
