Kubernetes DNS for Services and Pods is one of 13 APIs that [Kubernetes Services](https://apis.io/providers/kubernetes-services/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include DNS, Kubernetes, Networking, and Service Discovery. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

Kubernetes provides DNS-based service discovery for Services and Pods within a cluster. DNS records are automatically created for Services, allowing workloads to locate services by name rather than by IP address.
