+# DNS Horizontal Autoscaler
+
+DNS Horizontal Autoscaler enables horizontal autoscaling feature for DNS service
+in Kubernetes clusters. This autoscaler runs as a Deployment. It collects cluster
+status from the APIServer, horizontally scales the number of DNS backends based
+on demand. Autoscaling parameters could be tuned by modifying the `kube-dns-autoscaler`
+ConfigMap in `kube-system` namespace.

-# SkyDNS Replication Controllers and Service templates
+# kube-dns
+kube-dns schedules DNS Pods and Service on the cluster, other pods in cluster can
+use the DNS Service’s IP to resolve DNS names.
+
+More details on http://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/dns/.
+
+## Manually scale kube-dns Deployment
+kube-dns creates only one DNS Pod by default. If
+[dns-horizontal-autoscaler](../dns-horizontal-autoscaler/)
+is not enabled, you may need to manually scale kube-dns Deployment.
+
+Please use below `kubectl scale` command to scale:
+```
+kubectl --namespace=kube-system scale deployment kube-dns --replicas=<NUM_YOU_WANT>
+```
+
+Do not use `kubectl edit` to modify kube-dns Deployment object if it is controlled by
+[Addon Manager](../addon-manager/). Otherwise the modifications will be clobbered,
+in addition the replicas count for kube-dns Deployment will be reset to 1. See
+[Cluster add-ons README](../README.md) and [#36411](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/36411)
+for reference.
