How will DNS be managed for feature/PR environments?
How will DNS be managed for short-lived environments (e.g. for feature branches and Pull Requests)?



## Answer

The `external-dns` controller manages the DNS for PRs. It supports AWS and GKE environments. Wildcard DNS is sometimes used instead. That’s also cool, but less dynamic.

The `external-dns` controller manages the DNS for PRs. It supports AWS and GKE environments. Wildcard DNS records pointed at the Ingress Load Balancer can be used in place of `external-dns`, but that is less flexible.
