๐ Kubernetes Services Made Simple
When you deploy applications on Kubernetes, Pods are ephemeral and their IPs change frequently.
That’s where Services come in — they provide a stable way to access Pods.
Here are the 3 most common Service types you’ll use:
๐น ClusterIP (Default)
Gives a stable internal IP inside the cluster.
❌ Not accessible externally.
✅ Best for service-to-service communication (e.g., frontend → backend).
๐น NodePort
Exposes the Service on a static port (30000–32767) on every node.
Accessible externally via:
http://<NodeIP>:<NodePort>
✅ Good for simple external access (test/dev).
❌ Not scalable for production.
๐น LoadBalancer
Works with cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.).
Provisions an external load balancer with a public IP/DNS.
✅ Best for production-grade apps — scalable, reliable external access.
