Service Types and ClusterIP
Explore different Kubernetes service types, with a focus on ClusterIP, the default service enabling internal access among pods. Learn how ClusterIP provides a stable virtual IP for communication, handles multiple pod replicas, and ensures consistent access despite pod restarts. This lesson guides you through creating services and pods in manifests and testing connectivity inside the cluster.

Service types
Now that we have seen how a service works, let’s talk about the different types of services we can have. In the previous lesson, we used a NodePort Service that will open a port on all the worker nodes (30001 in our case) and deliver requests received on that port to all the pods that are behind it. Each Service type has its different uses, and we will learn how to choose the best option for our needs.
ClusterIP
This is the simplest type of service. It’s also the ...
