Kubernetes - Using hostAliases
This article goes over how to update the /etc/hosts on your deployment pods with custom entries.
Details
Adding values to the hostAliases section of a deployment I am able to redirect requests to my identity server located on my main machine, since a back plane network request causes issues with the url structure and SSL resolution. This has the added benefit of behaving more like a production environment as well.
