📚 Welcome to Day 12! 🚀
In today's session, we dive deep into Kubernetes Services, the backbone of pod communication and external access in a Kubernetes cluster. We'll cover the four main service types and explore real-world scenarios to understand when and how to use each service.

🌟 What You’ll Learn:
✅ Why We Need Services: Enable stable communication inside and outside the cluster.
✅ ClusterIP: Facilitate internal pod-to-pod communication.
✅ NodePort: Expose services externally using node IP and port.
✅ LoadBalancer: Provide a single external IP for internet access (mainly in cloud environments).
✅ ExternalName: Connect internal services to external resources using DNS names.

💡 By the End of This Lecture:
You'll understand how to choose the right service type for your applications, and you'll gain hands-on experience with ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer, and ExternalName services using imperative commands and YAML manifests.
