On: Special-use domain 'home.arpa.' (2018)

[vbezhenar]

Given the fact that Kubernetes uses cluster.local. by default (and probably in the 99% of clusters), you can be sure that any useful software will be OK with that.

[JimDabell → vbezhenar]

Kubernetes is normally used on hosted servers and mDNS is normally used for home appliances like printers. I wouldn’t expect Kubernetes to be able to show that using .local is safe with mDNS.

[Symbiote → vbezhenar]

Kebernetes ought to change that default, as it's contrary to the standard.

e.g. systemd by default won't query DNS for a .local domain, and it's sometimes useful to connect to K8s resources from outside the cluster.
