seems to be a regression ?
/assign
Would you check you dns configmap for ? As , federation is removed from coredns. If you have federation enabled in your coredns configmap, the check may fail in
We don't have any parameter in our coredns configmap, or any kube-dns parameters in kubeadm config
Looking closely at the dry run messages above, this may not be a regression. The apparent reason it works in 1.18.12 is that support for CoreDNS 1.7.0 was not until 1.19. i.e. 1.18 sees an unsupported version of CoreDNS and therefore skips the corefile migration. Whereas in 1.19, CoreDNS 1.7.0 is supported, and the migration takes place. What does your complete Corefile look like before the migration?
If it's possible, can you also attach the entire dry run logs?
Sure.
Thanks.

I think the issue may be in the detection of the "default" configuration. That is, in the upgrade process, if it detects that you are using the "default" coredns corefile, it simply installs the new default over top of it, rather than migrating the existing one. I think since the default config stanza is in there in its original form, the whole Corefile is incorrectly being detected as a default. If i'm right, the fix could either go in the package (should at least eventually be fixed there), and/or kubeadm could just always migrate the existing config instead of deploying the default over top of the existing one.
I just tested against the package manually - and it correctly identifies the config as "non-default", so that's not it... And I also tested a migration on the Corefile, and the result included the extra stanzas as expected. So, the issue doesn't appear to lie in the migration package.
After testing with the code, I find the issue in , I fixed it in . A workaround for you is to create an empty kube-dns configmap. ———————————————————— edited new comments here I find still fix a problem , when kube-dns configmap is using federations.
Thanks, I'll try it
empty kube-dns configmap doesn't helped.
sorry for my mistake. According to my test, the create or update will trigger is no migrating. Even your corefile will meet some dep that need to be migrated. max_concurrent is new default. However, there is a typo in . Below is a workaround(not good one), add upstream to your corefile in kubernetes. ! It works for me.
if your current coredns is 1.6.7, upstream is deprecated but not removed. In new 1.7.0 coredns, upstream is removed.
thanks for the discussion and PRs this one is mergable for 1.21 as non critical: what do you think about this one and should we backport it as critical (also, to which k8s versions)?

It's not obvious to me how this relates to . The kubeadm dry run log appears to be replacing the existing config with the default. It should only be doing this if the existing config is semantically the same as a default Corefile, i.e.

if is true.
just explains that the migration is not triggered at all. if is not a fix for this issue, please remove this line from the PR description.
I think issue here is in/around , and how the result is interpreted... The code correctly assumes that if a Corefile is a default Corefile, then no migration is required. However later it incorrectly assumes the reciprocal: If migration is not required, then the corefile must be a default. Hence, it ends up replacing any Corefile that does not require migration with a default… even if it wasn't a default to begin with.
yes. The need be fixed as well, I will learn to fix it later if no one is assigned. I changed releaseNote to None.
