Support SRV record creation with cloudflare provider #4754

starcraft66 · 2024-09-17T21:30:54Z

Description

Implements SRV record creation when using the cloudflare provider. Cloudflare's API requires sending SRV record data in structured fields rather than a bare string with the record.

I'm not a Go developer and just did the bare minimum to get this working and tested, I've confirmed this works on my personal cluster. Feel free to suggest improvements.

Fixes #4751

Checklist

Unit tests updated
End user documentation updated

You will be prompted by a bot to use commands during the review process. Do not be afraid to follow the prompts! It is okay to experiment. Here is the bot commands documentation.

You can also check if kubernetes-sigs/external-dns has its own contribution guidelines.

You may want to refer to our testing guide if you run into trouble with your tests not passing.

If you are having difficulty getting your pull request seen, please follow the recommended escalation practices. Also, for tips and tricks in the contribution process you may want to read the Kubernetes contributor cheat sheet. We want to make sure your contribution gets all the attention it needs!

Thank you, and welcome to Kubernetes. 😃

k8s-ci-robot · 2024-09-17T21:31:03Z

Hi @starcraft66. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes-sigs member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.

Wdyt of checking IP format with ParseIP ?

It wouldn't really make sense here afaik because the the target could be a hostname that would have to be resolved, so pretty much anything goes.

mloiseleur

Thanks for this PR. Overall it looks good, and it's tested 👍.
Wdyt of updating documentation in order to show how to create a SRV record ?

mloiseleur · 2024-09-18T06:29:36Z

/ok-to-test

starcraft66 · 2024-09-22T16:49:25Z

Just added documentation

starcraft66 · 2024-09-22T16:50:47Z

docs/sources/srv-record.md

This might not be completely accurate but I can't test every provider, I just built this list by grepping for mentions of SRV in the providers folder and searching the issue tracker.

docs/sources/srv-record.md

provider/cloudflare/cloudflare.go

mloiseleur · 2024-10-19T07:54:18Z

@starcraft66 Thanks for the documentation. See my comments for a first review of the code.

kashalls · 2024-10-23T03:14:11Z

@starcraft66 Do you need any help with this PR, glad to help if possible.

starcraft66 · 2025-02-27T01:33:45Z

@mloiseleur ready for review

ivankatliarchuk · 2025-02-27T07:13:30Z

Hi. Nice on, I'll do an initial review.

/label tide/merge-method-squash

ivankatliarchuk · 2025-02-27T07:15:43Z

docs/sources/srv-record.md

+In order to start managing MX records you need to set the `--managed-record-types SRV` flag.
+
+```console
+external-dns --source crd --provider {akamai|civo|cloudflare|ibmcloud|linode|rfc2136|pdns} --managed-record-types A --managed-record-types CNAME --managed-record-types SRV


are we sure all this providers support SRV?

ivankatliarchuk · 2025-02-27T07:17:43Z

docs/sources/srv-record.md

+    - dnsName: _sip._udp.example.com
+      recordTTL: 180
+      recordType: SRV
+      targets:


Would it be possible to share smoke tests as well, could you please also provide a way to test this manually with manifests and kubectl commands? Similar to this example #5111 (comment)

for cloudflare is enough, I'll do for aws or google?

I'm unsure where or not multiple targets supported, never tried that case.

ivankatliarchuk · 2025-02-27T07:20:33Z

provider/cloudflare/cloudflare.go

-		Content: cfc.ResourceRecord.Content,
 	}
+
+	if cfc.ResourceRecord.Type == "SRV" {


this seems identical to cloudflare.CreateDNSRecordParams. Shell we create a shared method?

New lines added, not covered with unit tests

ivankatliarchuk · 2025-02-27T07:22:46Z

provider/cloudflare/cloudflare.go

+}
+
+// parseSRVContent parses the SRV record content string into the structured data required by the Cloudflare API
+func parseSRVContent(content string) (map[string]interface{}, error) {


Error cases not covered, could we add unit-test coverege for them? We are aiming to increase test-coverage

ivankatliarchuk · 2025-02-27T07:24:16Z

provider/cloudflare/cloudflare.go

+
+	target := parts[3]
+
+	return map[string]interface{}{


Could we have a struct instead?

ivankatliarchuk · 2025-02-27T07:25:09Z

provider/cloudflare/cloudflare.go

+	if endpoint.RecordType == "SRV" {
+		srvData, err := parseSRVContent(target)
+		if err != nil {
+			log.Errorf("Error parsing SRV content: %v", err)


error case not covered

ivankatliarchuk · 2025-02-27T07:25:51Z

provider/cloudflare/cloudflare.go

 		for i, record := range records {
-			targets[i] = record.Content
+			if record.Type == "SRV" {
+				if dataMap, ok := record.Data.(map[string]interface{}); ok {


Not covered with tests

ivankatliarchuk · 2025-02-27T07:26:23Z

provider/cloudflare/cloudflare.go

-			targets[i] = record.Content
+			if record.Type == "SRV" {
+				if dataMap, ok := record.Data.(map[string]interface{}); ok {
+					priority, _ := dataMap["priority"].(float64)


same apply, could we have a concrete struct, so we do not need to cast?
