#### **CoreDNS**

### SIG Network

The main milestones for SIG Network this release are the graduation of IPVS-based load balancing and CoreDNS to general availability.

IPVS is an alternative approach to in-cluster load balancing that uses in-kernel hash tables rather than the previous iptables approach, while CoreDNS is a replacement for kube-dns for service discovery.
