Pod Hostname — Hostname with pod's hostname and subdomain fields
The Pod spec includes an optional hostname field. When set, this value takes precedence over the Pod's metadata.name as the hostname (observed from within the Pod). For example, a Pod with spec.hostname set to my-host will have its hostname set to my-host. The Pod spec also includes an optional subd

The Pod spec includes an optional hostname field. When set, this value takes precedence over the Pod's metadata.name as the hostname (observed from within the Pod). For example, a Pod with spec.hostname set to my-host will have its hostname set to my-host.
The Pod spec also includes an optional subdomain field, indicating the Pod belongs to a subdomain within its namespace. If a Pod has spec.hostname set to "foo" and spec.subdomain set to "bar" in the namespace my-namespace, its hostname becomes foo and its fully qualified domain name (FQDN) becomes foo.bar.my-namespace.svc.cluster-domain.example (observed from within the Pod).
When both hostname and subdomain are set, the cluster's DNS server will create A and/or AAAA records based on these fields. Refer to: Pod's hostname and subdomain fields.
