-# Bind charm
+# Bind Operator
A Juju charm deploying Bind, configurable to use a git repository for its configuration files.
## Overview
-This is a k8s workload charm and can only be deployed to a Juju k8s cloud,
-attached to a controller using `juju add-k8s`.
+BIND 9 has evolved to be a very flexible, full-featured DNS system. Whatever
+your application is, BIND 9 probably has the required features. As the first,
+oldest, and most commonly deployed solution, there are more network engineers
+who are already familiar with BIND 9 than with any other system.
-This charm is not currently ready for production due to issues with providing
-an egress to route TCP and UDP traffic to the pods. See:

-## Getting Started
-
-Notes for deploying a test setup locally using microk8s, the setup of which is
-documented here: https://juju.is/docs/microk8s-cloud
-
-```
-juju add-model bind-test

-1. Either deploy with the default image from Dockerhub:
+For details on using Kubernetes with Juju [see here](https://juju.is/docs/kubernetes), and for
+details on using Juju with MicroK8s for easy local testing [see here](https://juju.is/docs/microk8s-cloud).
+To deploy this charm in a juju k8s model:
```
juju deploy cs:~bind-charmers/bind
```
-2. Or optionally build your own image locally and deploy with that
-
-```
-sudo snap install charmcraft
-git clone https://git.launchpad.net/charm-k8s-bind
-cd charm-k8s-bind
-make image-build
-docker push localhost:32000/bind
-juju deploy cs:~bind-charmers/bind --config bind_image_path=localhost:32000/bind:latest bind
-
-juju wait
-juju status
-```
-
-Assuming you're using the image from dockerhub, or an image built locally from
-this repo without changes, the charm will deploy bind with its stock Ubuntu
-package configuration, which will forward all queries to root name servers.

+## Known Issues
+
+This charm is unable to provide an ingress to route TCP and UDP traffic to the
+pods due to [LP#1889703](https://bugs.launchpad.net/juju/+bug/1889703). This is
+also being tracked as [a bug against the charm itself](https://bugs.launchpad.net/charm-k8s-bind/+bug/1889746).
