 ``resolvconf_mode`` configures how Kubespray will setup DNS for ``hostNetwork: true`` PODs and non-k8s containers.
 There are three modes available:

+As cluster DNS is not available on early deployment stage, this mode is split into 2 stages. In the first
+stage (``dns_early: true``), ``/etc/resolv.conf`` is configured to use the DNS servers found in ``upstream_dns_servers``
+and ``nameservers``. Later, ``/etc/resolv.conf`` is reconfigured to use the cluster DNS server first, leaving

 Does nothing regarding ``/etc/resolv.conf``. This leaves you with a cluster that works as expected in most cases.
 The only exception is that ``hostNetwork: true`` PODs and non-k8s managed containers will not be able to resolve
