This tutorial describes how to configure ExternalDNS to use the Gloo Proxy source.
It is meant to supplement the other provider-specific setup tutorials.

Manifest (for clusters without RBAC enabled)

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: external-dns
spec:
  strategy:
    type: Recreate
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: external-dns
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: external-dns
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: external-dns
        # update this to the desired external-dns version
        image: registry.k8s.io/external-dns/external-dns:v0.14.1
        args:
        - --source=gloo-proxy
        - --gloo-namespace=custom-gloo-system # gloo system namespace. Specify multiple times for multiple namespaces. Omit to use the default (gloo-system)
        - --provider=aws
        - --registry=txt
        - --txt-owner-id=my-identifier
