Abstract

Organization success with edge computing and multi-region Kubernetes depends on proper traffic optimization because it makes services faster and stays online more often. The standard DNS lookup approach creates poor network routes because it lacks real-time information about network speed and uses up resources needlessly. This survey explores the role of edge-aware DNS routing in Kubernetes for multi-region deployments, emphasizing its impact on latency reduction, load balancing, fault tolerance, and scalability. It examines key challenges, including infrastructure complexity, security vulnerabilities, and data consistency, while highlighting solutions such as topology-aware routing, real-time network measurements, and orchestration strategies. The study reviews Kubernetes' networking components, including Core DNS, for service discovery and its integration with edge computing to optimize performance in 4G and 5G environments. By analyzing existing approaches, this survey provides insights into best practices and future research directions for enhancing DNS-based traffic management in distributed cloud-edge architectures.
