Your question is Deep Kubernetes and Linux DNS. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
Explain the physical and virtual components of Kubernetes and walk me through how DNS resolution happens step by step in Linux.
Focus on the control plane, worker nodes, pods, services, and the Linux resolver path from application call to upstream query. Call out where trust boundaries, caching, and failure points exist.
