LoadBalancer Services on CoreWeave can be assigned a DNS name in the .coreweave.app domain through the service.beta.kubernetes.io/external-hostname annotation. When the DNS name does not appear, the cause is almost always a missing annotation, a hostname conflict, or a mismatched long-form hostname. For the full setup procedure, see Create a public DNS name.

Check allocation status

The DNS allocation result is stored in the Service status conditions. Query the ExternalRecords condition to see the allocated FQDN:
kubectl get svc [SERVICE-NAME] -o=jsonpath='{.status.conditions[?(@.type=="ExternalRecords")].message}'
A successful allocation shows the full FQDN. A failed allocation shows status: "False" with an error message. To view all allocation-related events:
kubectl describe svc [SERVICE-NAME]
Look for events with these reasons:
Event reasonMeaning
DNSRecordUpdatedDNS record created successfully.
DomainNotAllowedThe requested hostname is not allowed. The system appends the default domain suffix.
HostnameConflictAnother Service in the same cluster already uses this hostname.

Common causes

  • Missing hostname annotation. The DNS name comes from the service.beta.kubernetes.io/external-hostname annotation. Without it, no record is created. A record is requested only when you set this annotation, and it works for both public and internal LoadBalancers. The service.beta.kubernetes.io/coreweave-load-balancer-type annotation controls whether the IP is public or internal, not whether a DNS name is created.
  • Hostname conflict. Each hostname must be unique within a cluster. Choose a different value or delete the conflicting Service.
  • Service type is not LoadBalancer. ClusterIP and NodePort Services do not receive a DNS name.
  • Long-form hostname mismatch. If you use the long format (my-service.[ORG-ID]-[CLUSTER-NAME].coreweave.app), the Org ID and cluster name must match exactly. Prefer the short format and let the system construct the FQDN.

When to contact support

Contact CoreWeave support if:
  • The ExternalRecords condition shows status: "False" with no clear error message.
  • DNS records are not resolving after a successful allocation.
  • You need a custom domain instead of the .coreweave.app domain.
