K8S External-DNS Provider

[minimalmattt]

Hi all,

I just wanted to ask if there has been some prior talk about External-DNS.

To keep it short it's a project that allows syncing k8s Ingresses/Gateways with DNS records in various providers.

There is currently an In-tree PDNS provider, but:

1. There's an ongoing effort to move all providers out of the External-DNS tree and move to the new webhook provider (below)
2. it's pretty basic at the moment
3. lacks support for PDNS-specific features e.g. LUA records

External-DNS recently introduced the new Webhook provider to allow a more consistent interface, and the hope that different DNS systems could have their first-party provider that can be plugged in.

I was wondering if it could be something of interest in the project.
I personally see an appeal for those of us that are (happily) stuck on-premises and/or hybrid cloud and on-premises environments. A lot of environments run basically the entire stack in k8s and being able to orchestrate DNS the same way in on-prem and cloud environments would be a pretty big operational win. It could also integrate nicely into Cloud Control, although I have no first-hand experience with it (yet).

Thank you all :)
