☁️ Free practice test question from: KCNA (KCNA)

A CNAME (Canonical Name) record creates an alias pointing from one domain name to another domain name. In Kubernetes DNS, this allows services to be referenced by alternative names. For example, if you have a service called "database" in your production environment, you might create a CNAME record so "db" points to "database", allowing both names to resolve to the same service.

In the context of Kubernetes, CNAME records follow the same principles as in traditional DNS systems, providing a way to create service aliases while maintaining proper DNS resolution mechanics.
