Discussion:
there is a note above hostAliases that this feature does not work with hostNework=true, yet it seems it does: when testing with a hostNetwork pod + hostAliases, there are no errors in kubelet logs at --v=10 related to this, in fact i don't see any hostAlias entries at all in there. i could not find anything blocking this in the kubelet, in fact there is normal handling of hostNetwork: i could not find any validation performed on the hostAliases field of PodSpec if hostNetwork is true on the API level. i could not find any unit tests or e2e tests related to this. the godoc should contain valid information if the feature is not supposed to work, it must be patched to not have the entries in the hosts file (perhaps?) we should have tests that ensure this type of requirement is guaranteed these steps confirm that a static pod with hostNework (deployed by kubeadm) does make use of hostAliases. create a kubeadm single node cluster directly with or one with modify the to include:wait some time for the new static pod spec to resync find the PID of the kube-apiserverget the hosts file n/a latest master 1.30.0-alpha.0 not applicable <details</detailskubeadm containerd v1.6.14 kindnet add test: update godoc:

as reported by the hostAliases sometimes are not mounted for hostNetwork static pods, which is concerning: related slack thread:
At minimum the comment is wrong I need to be updated and we need e2e tests :/
found this, support was a while back: i will PR the API docs.
We identified an edge case here with Kubernetes v1.29. If a cloud provider did not yet initialise the node's , the code for creating the file including the hostAliases does not get run. To be concrete, in: is empty in this case which leads to to be . I was able to trace it back to this change which leads to this behaviour for static pods: For confirmation: I reverted the above commit, rebuilt kubelet and it got back to the old behaviour.

there is no perfect solution, but reverting is wrong because opens another bug, we need to study this more carefully but in the meantime installers that know the nodes addresses beforehand should set the --node-ip flag or not use cloud-provider external
yeah, as i mentioned downstream, revering is out of the question. it fixes some long standing problems. we might have to document somewhere this limitation in a cloud provider env.
i think it might be possible for us to special case this so that the hostAlias management does not wait for the node IP in a CP env, under certain conditions. just a speculation.
