Not able to perform nslookup to Kubernetes service

I am trying to do a nslookup of the Service but it always gives ** server can't find kubernetes: NXDOMAIN error.

I have already checked all the answers which suggest using a busybox image but that too is not working. Below are screenshots.

Anyone has any idea what might be wrong here?

Solution

  • The busybox image solution is still patchy, for some it works and for some it doesn't. Try creating a pod as per below spec from kubernetes.io:

    apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: dnsutils
  namespace: default
spec:
  containers:
  - name: dnsutils
    image: registry.k8s.io/e2e-test-images/jessie-dnsutils:1.3
    command:
      - sleep
      - "infinity"
    imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
  restartPolicy: Always

    And then use this command - kubectl exec -ti dnsutils -- nslookup <<Service_Name>>.
