Revision Notes – Kubernetes concepts on Services

• A Kubernetes service is an abstraction which is used to define a logical set of pods.
• A Kubernetes service is assigned an IP address.
• In service spec definition, port refers to incoming port which is mapped to targetPort on Pod. By default, the value of targetPort is set to same value as port.
• targetPort can be a string, referring to the name of a port in the backend Pods.
• Kubernetes services support both TCP and UDP for protocols.
• A service can be defined without a label selector for some of the following reasons:
  • Point to another service in another Namespace.
  • Integrate with backends running outside of Kubernetes
• A service not defined without a label selector requires one of the following to happen:
  • Define endpoint with an ip address and a port for connecting to external services
  • Define ExternalName service which serves as a way to return an alias to an external service residing outside the cluster.
• Every node in a Kubernetes cluster runs an instance of kube-proxy and kubelet.
• Kube-proxy is responsible for implementing a form of Virtual IP for Services.
• In iptables mode, Kube-proxy installs iptables rules for capturing traffic to the Service’s virtual clusterIP and Port.
• Kube-proxy running in following modes supports following as load balancing algorithm

• Service supports exposing more than one port, say http(80), https(443).
