Examine a NodePort service

“

- [Instructor] In the last video, you accessed a ClusterIP service, and in this video, I'll show you how to access data through a NodePort service. Remember, the NodePort service lets you expose a group of pods to the internet directly. When you create a NodePort service, Kubernetes opens a port on one or more of your nodes and it allows traffic in at a specific port number. I'm going to show you how this works and we are going to be exploring the echo-service. So like the learning-service, the echo-service is deployed in the default namespace. Unlike the learning-service, it is a NodePort type service and its port is 80, which is the default port. So if you're making a request to the container directly, you don't have to specify the port. Like we did with the ClusterIP service, let's get the data from the echo-service containers. We'll start by making a request to the pod IP address. Then we will see how NodePorts work and we'll make a request directly to an IP address of one of our…
