Specification

The RRset specification contains the following fields:

Field	Type	Required	Description
type	string	Y	Type of the record (e.g. "A", "PTR", "MX")
name	string	Y	Name of the record
ttl	uint32	Y	DNS TTL of the records, in seconds
records	[]string	Y	All records in this Resource Record Set
comment	string	N	Comment on RRSet
zoneRef	ZoneRef	Y	ZoneRef reference the zone the RRSet depends on

The ZoneRef specification contains the following fields:

Field	Type	Required	Description
name	string	Y	Name of the ClusterZone/Zone
kind	string	Y	Kind of zone (Zone/ClusterZone)

Example

apiVersion: dns.cav.enablers.ob/v1alpha2
kind: RRset
metadata:
  name: test.helloworld.com
  namespace: default
spec:
  comment: nothing to tell
  type: A
  name: test
  ttl: 300
  records:
    - 1.1.1.1
    - 2.2.2.2
  zoneRef:
    name: helloworld.com
    kind: "Zone"

Note: The name can be canonical or not. If not, the name of the ClusterZone/Zone will be appended

Reconciliation Flow

The following diagram illustrates the reconciliation flow for RRset resources:

    participant U as User
    participant K as Kubernetes API
    participant C as Controller
    participant P as PowerDNS API
    participant M as Metrics

    U->>K: kubectl apply rrset.yaml -n default
    K->>C: RRset Created Event (namespace-scoped)

    Note over C: Reconciliation Loop Starts
    C->>C: Check Deletion Timestamp

    alt Resource is being deleted
        C->>P: DELETE /api/v1/servers/localhost/zones/example.com/records
        P-->>C: RRset Deleted
        C->>C: Remove Finalizers
        C->>K: Update RRset
        Note over C: Deletion Complete
    else Resource is being created/updated
        C->>C: Add Finalizers if missing
        C->>K: Get Referenced Zone (Zone/ClusterZone)

        alt Zone not found
            C->>K: Set Pending Status
            C->>K: Set Zone Not Available Condition
            C->>M: Update Metrics
            Note over C: Requeue after 2s
        else Zone found
            C->>C: Check Zone Status

            alt Zone in Failed Status
                C->>K: Set Failed Status
                C->>K: Set Zone Unavailable Condition
                C->>M: Update Metrics
                Note over C: Reconciliation Failed
            else Zone Available
                C->>C: Check for duplicate RRsets (namespace-aware)

                alt Duplicate RRset found
                    C->>K: Set Failed Status
                    C->>K: Set Duplicated Condition
                    C->>M: Update Metrics
                    Note over C: Reconciliation Failed

                        C->>P: POST /api/v1/servers/localhost/zones/example.com/records
                        Note over P: Create RRset with records
