What is a service?
An abstract way to expose an application running on a set of Pods as a network service.With Kubernetes you don’t need to modify your application to use an unfamiliar service discovery mechanism.
Types of Services in Kubernetes:
- cluster IP
- nodeport
- load balancer
- external name
What is the use of service in Kubernetes?
A Service in Kubernetes is an abstraction which defines a logical set of Pods and a policy by which to access them. Services enable a loose coupling between dependent Pods. A Service is defined using YAML (preferred) or JSON, like all Kubernetes objects.
How does service work in Kubernetes?
A Kubernetes service is a logical collection of pods in a Kubernetes cluster. We can define a K8s service as an abstract way to load balance across the pods and expose an application deployed on a set of Pods. Moreover, using the inbuilt service mechanism in Kubernetes eliminates the need for implementing a separate service discovery mechanism.
