Service LoadBalancer
Run a Hello World application in your cluster:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nishanthkumarpathi/k8s-calico-istio-training/main/understand-k8s/services/load-balancer-example.yaml
The preceding command creates a Deployment and an associated ReplicaSet. The ReplicaSet has five Pods each of which runs the Hello World application.
Display information about the Deployment:
kubectl get deployments hello-world
kubectl describe deployments hello-world
Display information about your ReplicaSet objects:
kubectl get replicasets
kubectl describe replicasets
Create a Service object that exposes the deployment:
kubectl expose deployment hello-world --type=LoadBalancer --name=my-service
Display information about the Service:
kubectl get services my-service
Display detailed information about the Service:
kubectl describe services my-service
In the preceding output, you can see that the service has several endpoints: 10.0.0.6:8080,10.0.1.6:8080,10.0.1.7:8080 + 2 more. These are internal addresses of the pods that are running the Hello World application.
To verify these are pod addresses, enter this command:
kubectl get pods --output=wide
Use the external IP address (LoadBalancer Ingress) to access the Hello World application:
curl http://:
or
go to browser and type the Load Balancer IP Ingress IP Address.
Cleaning up
To delete the Service, enter this command:
kubectl delete services my-service
To delete the Deployment, the ReplicaSet, and the Pods that are running the Hello World application, enter this command:
kubectl delete deployment hello-world
