Howto teach my awx minikube cluster about my internal DNS resolvers at deployment time?

I am using the new operator (v 0.22.0) method to deploy awx 21.1.0 into a test minikuke Kubernetes cluster using the basic install as documented in

https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator#basic-install

How or where to I set my awx related pods to know to use my internal dns resolvers to find my local linux and windows machines?
Both winrm and kerberos totally depend on a fully working DNS, fr linux I could get away by setting the IP under the ansible_host var, but in my test setup the awx pods do not know about my internal zone dns servers and active directory domain controllers.

How do I set this so the operator deploy injects that info into all its pods in the awx namespace?

Thanks for any help or pointers. I can go and edit ephemeral pods and manually inject the info into the /etc/resov.conf, but in Kubernetes deployment that just feels wrong.

Replying to one’s own question is a either a sign of oncoming madness or alternatively might be a sign that one wants to share what has been found
( and also making sure in the process that next time around the answer can be found when searching with google. :wink: )

I found this article here helpful:

http://pwittrock.github.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/dns-custom-nameservers/

So in my case I put the following in a yaml file and then applied it with ‘kubectl apply -f my-local-dns.yml’

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: kube-dns
namespace: kube-system
data:
stubDomains: |
{“example.dom”: [“10.100.150.100”, “10.100.150.200”]}
upstreamNameservers: |
[“1.0.0.2”, “1.1.1.2”]

HTH somebody else too. After this I could resolve and info my local zone hosts on the awx task and ee and web containers.

PS:
Sorry for this ‘duplicate’ post. I had not immediately realised that there is a awx-project google group and posted off topic to ansible-project google group first instead.
