Exposing Kubernetes Applications using Services

In this blog, we will explore how we can access the kubernetes applications externally using Services

Prerequisite:

1. Functional Kubernetes Cluster configured
2. Kubernetes’ command-line tool, kubectl, which is the command-line interface for running commands against Kubernetes clusters.
3. Clone this git repo for all the yaml files which we will be using in this blog

Agenda:

1. Create a Kubernetes Cluster
2. Firewall Rules Configured
3. Create a POD
4. ClusterIp Service
5. NodePort Service
6. LoadBalancer Service

Create a Kubernetes cluster

To get more details about how to create, please follow this blog.

Create a VPC

gcloud compute networks create vpc-k8s

Create a firewall rule with tag cluster

gcloud compute firewall-rules create allow-ext1 --allow tcp:22,tcp:6443,icmp --network vpc-k8s  --target-tags=cluster --source-ranges 0.0.0.0/0
