• Take me to Video Tutorial

In this section we will take a look at services - ClusterIP in kubernetes

ClusterIP

• In this case the service creates a Virtual IP inside the cluster to enable communication between different services such as a set of frontend servers to a set of backend servers.

  

What is a right way to establish connectivity between these services or tiers

• A kubernetes service can help us group the pods together and provide a single interface to access the pod in a group.
