|

If you are moving from kube-dns to CoreDNS, make sure to set the `CoreDNS` feature gate to `true`
|
|
||||||
during an upgrade. For example, here is what a `v1.11.0` upgrade would look like:
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
kubeadm upgrade apply v1.11.0 --feature-gates=CoreDNS=true
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In Kubernetes version 1.13 and later the `CoreDNS` feature gate is removed and CoreDNS
|
|
||||||
is used by default.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In versions prior to 1.11 the Corefile will be **overwritten** by the one created during upgrade.
|
|
||||||
**You should save your existing ConfigMap if you have customized it.** You may re-apply your
|
|
||||||
customizations after the new ConfigMap is up and running.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you are running CoreDNS in Kubernetes version 1.11 and later, during upgrade,
|
|
||||||
your existing Corefile will be retained.

In Kubernetes version 1.21, support for `kube-dns` is removed from kubeadm.
