\fIfederation\fP - enables federated queries to be resolved via the kubernetes plugin.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Enabling this plugin allows
Federated
\[la]https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/federation/federation-service-discovery/\[ra] queries to be
resolved via the kubernetes plugin.

.PP
Enabling \fIfederation\fP without also having \fIkubernetes\fP is a noop.

.IP \(bu 4
Each \fBNAME\fP and \fBDOMAIN\fP defines federation membership. One entry for each. A duplicate
\fBNAME\fP will silently overwrite any previous value.
.IP \(bu 4
\fB\fCupstream\fR resolve the \fB\fCCNAME\fR target produced by this plugin.  CoreDNS
will resolve External Services against itself and needs the \fIforward\fP plugin to be active to do
so.


.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
Here we handle all service requests in the \fB\fCprod\fR and \fB\fCstage\fR federations.
