ExternalDNS maintainer meeting 2023-08-10

11 Aug 2023

This post is just a quick summary of what we have discussed as part of a maintainers’ meeting that we held on 2023-08-10.

Next priorities

We’re going to focus on a few things:

1. Webhook provider, which has this PR as single pre-requisite. We have a plan of testing with new external providers (i.e. IONOS) and hope to get some feedback on its implementation. This will allow us to plan the move of some of the alpha providers to be out of tree and enable new providers to be created.
2. TXT registry. There are some fixes to be made to fix the v2 version of records. We will then start work on a v3 version.
3. We will prioritize merging fixes to the DynamoDB registry in this PR.
4. IPv6 fixes are coming.
5. Various improvements on CI with prow presubmit.

We have also discussed that we’ll do a next release as soon as #3724 and #3726 will be merged. We’ll be investigating improvements to the release process by looking into some of the automation that the kops project has.

Towards the end of the meeting, we also discussed improvements to the DNSEndpoint CRD.
