For more information on how to configure CoreDNS for a Kubernetes cluster, see the [Customizing DNS Service](/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/dns-custom-nameservers/). An example demonstrating how to use Kubernetes DNS with kube-dns, see the [Kubernetes DNS sample plugin](https://github.com/kubernetes/examples/tree/master/staging/cluster-dns).
