What is kubernetes Service?

  • Service is one of API Resources in K8s
  • Service is network load balancers for PODs
  • Service Load Balance PODS on POD network
  • Service is empowered by kube proxy & network policy
  • Service get Fixed IP address and DNS.
  • Service is managed by k8s
  • Service can be exposed outside of the clustor (port-forward)
  • Service can be STICKY
  • Service always Loadbalnce HEALTHY PODs
  • Service is getting update PODS endpoint(IP) with a help a of CoreDNS based on the label of SVC and PODS is matching.
  • Loadbalancing Alog – Random

Why kubernetes Service?

  • User want to access one of the POD out of 1000 pods which was done as part of Deployment

How kubernetes Service Works?

  • Label of Service MUST match with Label of PODS, then Service get updated with a POD which should be loadbalance.

“Selector Label” of Service MUST match with Label of PODS, then Service get updated with a POD which should be loadbalance.

Type of Service?
- ClustorIP
- NodePort
- Loadbalancer
- ExternalIP


ClustorIP(Default)
    Create a SVC which would load balance a POD
    This SVC get IP address from POD Network - AKA ClustorIP

NodePort
    Create a SVC which would load balance a POD
    This SVC get IP address from POD Network - AKA ClustorIP
    +
    This Service Get Exposed at EACH NODE PORT as well.

LoadBalancer
    Create a SVC which would load balance a POD
    This SVC get IP address from POD Network - AKA ClustorIP
    +
    This Service Get Exposed at EACH NODE PORT as well.
    +
    Create a CLOUD EXT LB &&&& ADD Each Node of the CLUSTOR to the EXT LB
