Network and Headless Services
Explore how Kubernetes uses headless Services within StatefulSets to provide predictable DNS names for individual Pods. Understand how this setup enables stateful applications to maintain direct connections by leveraging DNS service discovery, and see practical examples of configuring and using these services in real-world scenarios.

We’ve already said that StatefulSets are for applications that need Pods to be predictable and long-lived. This might involve applications connecting to specific Pods rather than letting the Service perform round-robin load balancing across all Pods. To make this possible, StatefulSets use a headless ...
