Thanks David, glad it worked.

@ Pavithra,

I am not familiar how the bind9, DNS, and SRV records works with Kamailio.

May be you can set the Kubernetes cluster domain to sip.example.com and then for the Pcscf pod the DNS record will be pcscf-0.pcscf-service.namespace.sip.example.com

You configure the local domain in the kubelet with the flag --cluster-domain=<default-local-domain>.

Hi Abdirahman,

One small doubt . In kamailio IMS server, we have dns configurations using bind9 with SRV records pointing a port for every ip address .

My domain name is sip.example.com



So this is how the dns server will be in my case.

The same domain names are configured as alias in my respective  cscf config files.

When you talk about nameserver . How this has to be configured using coredns/kubedns setting clusterIP : None

How this can be done from your point of view using coredns. 

Kindly help me with this

Thanks,
Pavithra

Hi David,

Yes that is right, so when you set to ClusterIP:none, it turns the services into a headless services. and the DNS will resolve to a single POD, instead of a group of PODs, and you can reach every POD through the DNS. IPs may change but the DNS will stay fixed when you use Statefullset, as you need a fixed DNS name for the pod. If you  use Deployment you get a randomly generated name, which is not what you want.

Hello Abdirahman,

Thanks for replying.

Do you mean if I create a service for the label selector of what’s running in the pod, but ser ClusterIP: None, when another pod tries to resolve that service, it will get the actual IP of the running POD?

Hi Pavithra,

Since POD IPs change, you have to rely on DNS records. To have a fixed DNS name like 

kamailio.kamalio-service.namespace.svc.cluster.local



for a pod you will have to use StatefullSet, so the pod DNS name doesn't change. Also you have to use Services and set it to ClusterIP: none, it will turn your pods to headless services and no load balancing is involved. and from my understanding you will be able to reach each POD directly through the DNS name.

and don't forget to set  your /etc/resolv.conf with the kubedns IP address.

Hi Abdirahman,

Do you mean , if I set clusterIP as None, then kubedns server will be pointing to pod ip so that kubedns/coredns will use pod ip for pod communication instead of service IP.


Is my understanding correct? From your explanation.

If this is the case, pod ip will be changing whenever I launch the pods . How that can be resolved.

Could you kindly helo me with this?


Thanks,
Pavithra

David,



Assuming those are pod ips. Using services doesn’t work

since the dns name will resolve to a k8s service ip and no the actual

pod running the service.

If you set   clusterIP: None in the services, you will get POD IP.

Hi, 
Thanks for the answers.
@David has got my question.

I have a seperate dns server running in my pcscf pod . So in my /etc/resolv.conf file , I would be configuring 
nameserver <pcscf pod ip>
in all other cscf pods as well for communication.



My question here is how to change the dns server pointing to cluster ip so that my domain name for IMS will be pointing to coredns itself. It will restrict me from using pod IP since it changes everytime.


@David, can you please tell me the last two lines briefly. I did not get it.how you configured . You mean to say still you are using pod Ip.

I’ve been trying to figure this out as well.
I haven’t yet found a way of publishing to kube-dns the pod IP of the running service. 

I.e.: 
kamailio.whatever.local on ip 10.0.0.1
Rtpengine.whatever.local on ip 10.0.0.2
Appserver.whatever.local on 10.0.0.3

Assuming those are pod ips. Using services doesn’t work since the dns name will resolve to a k8s service ip and no the actual pod running the service.

Assigning IPs hardcoded doesn’t work either since it might change if the docker changes pod. I can have multiple modes on which a service can run, but only one service (kamailio, rtpengine, appserver, etc) will run on a given pod.

Hi

Pavithra








You can use the kubedns/CoreDNS of the kubernetes cluster to resolve Internal DNS records of the pods.To assign DNS records for each POD you have to deploy a service and set the ClusterIP: none. and the dns record will be something like kamailio.kamalio-service.platform.svc.cluster.local
which is the podname.servicename.namespace.svc.cluster.local

In the resolve.conf you will put the kubeDNS/CoreDNS IP as the nameserver.  You can set this in the kubernetes manifest file

      dnsPolicy: "None"
      dnsConfig:
        nameservers:
          - 10.34.0.1 (

kubeDNS/CoreDNS )

Hi,

It would be helpful if you could elaborate what has to be done for kubernetes pods when you mention sip ingress


Thanks,

Lot of issues with static IP in Kubernetes.

Looks as need deploy "sip ingress" like "HTTP/HTTPS ingress" and then route calls to pods.

Hi,

I am configuring kamailio IMS as kubernetes pods .
so each component will be configured as separate pod .
In order to establish a connection between pods , I am configuring bind9 dns server in pcscf pod itself. Communication is happening via Pod IP address.

Is there any possibility to have the communication using cluster IP . If anybody is aware of kubernetes, Please help me in this regard.

I have my /etc/resolv.conf file in pods with
nameserver <clusterIP>
search <cluster-dns-domain-name>

Please help.


Thanks,
