Hello openstack-discuss, the external-dns [1] controller is the de-facto standard to integrate Kubernetes with DNS services, one of them being OpenStack Designate. 1) For quite a while there is a push to move the provider specific code out of tree, see [2], [3]. With (larger) changes not being reviewed / merged for the in-tree Designate code, [4] we bit the bullet and wrote a webhook provider implementation for OpenStack Designate, [5], which I also proposed to be added to the list of new providers via [6]. If you are running Kubernetes on top of OpenStack, I kindly ask you to give this webhook a try and see if it works or if there are still some kinks to iron out. If so: Open helpful issues, send PRs! 2) I am also reaching out to see if potentially you would even want to adopt this project as OpenStack Designate. While one could argue that it's out of OpenStack Designates element to care about Kubernetes. I believe a good integration and well working interfaces are key to keep OpenStack attractive as a platform (to run Kubernetes on). And with the webhook provider being an independent piece of software, just implementing the webhook provider interface [7], the contact surface with Kubernetes is very limited to non-existing. It's mostly Gophercloud ([8]) calling the Designate-API for the DNS record management actions external-dns requires. Looking a bit more closely to this widely used controller hitting the Designate-API might give also provide good insights or ideas for improvements or in the very least facilitates adoption.
