ran in parallelA configuration change to the internal DNS zone records for service mesh migration caused upstream DNS resolution failures (NXDOMAIN) for orders-service.internal, forcing the gateway to fall back to stale cached resolver entries.

The incident involves a failure in internal DNS resolution (NXDOMAIN) following a configuration change, which is a network-layer issue. While the gateway is falling back to stale cache, the inability to resolve the orders-service indicates a significant degradation in service discovery, consistent with previous P2 incidents of this nature.

Scenario Matcher
deterministic, pre-LLMDNS resolution failures after config change
DNS failures correlated with a recent config/deploy change are best resolved by rolling back the change rather than restarting downstream services.

grounded by runbook match, pre-gateProposed action: rollback_deploy
team: dns-infrastructure-team · reason: NXDOMAIN errors observed after recent DNS zone config change · message: Rollback DNS zone configuration to previous stable version to stop NXDOMAIN errors · toVersion: f9c966f^ · serviceName: internal-dns · justification: Runbook for DNS resolution failures after config change recommends rollback_deploy; the root cause is the config change, so rolling back is the appropriate remediation
The diagnosis identifies the recent DNS zone configuration change as the cause of NXDOMAIN failures. The matched runbook explicitly advises a rollback_deploy for such scenarios, and there is no conflicting evidence suggesting another action. Therefore, rolling back the DNS configuration to the prior version is the correct bounded action.

The rollback successfully reverted the configuration change that was identified as the root cause of the NXDOMAIN errors. Service discovery metrics have returned to baseline levels following the deployment of the previous stable version.
