Ongoing issues in the Linux kernel's UDP connection tracking have caused well-documented challenges with DNS. Bugs particularly affect DNS in Kubernetes in its default configuration; we saw elevated rates of DNS timeouts that seemed to increase with load on our clusters.

Don’t just donate this season; make an impact
If you were walking past a shallow pond and saw a child drowning, would you jump in and save them? Of course you would. If you knew you’d have to pay $100 to dry clean your clothes after you jump in the water, would you still save the drowning child? There’s a good chance you still would.
