[gmx-developers] CI Kubernetes pod problems?

[Stefan Fleischmann]

I checked our internal DNS servers and noticed that one of them had
problems with certain queries. I restarted it late last night and it
seems to behave normal again. But since these older Alpine images are
known to behave strange in this area it's certainly good to update
these too. 

Cheers,
Stefan
