About this video
In this video, I will guide you through Kubernetes Services an essential concept to expose your applications to the outside world.
We’ll start by understanding why services are needed in Kubernetes, then dive deep into the three types: ClusterIP, NodePort, and LoadBalancer. You'll learn when and how to use each, with live hands-on demos showing how to expose NGINX pods deployed via a Deployment, ReplicaSet, and ReplicationController (covered in our previous video)
📌 Topics Covered:
- Why Kubernetes Services are important
- ClusterIP Service – Internal access
- NodePort Service – External access via Node IP
- LoadBalancer Service overview
- Practical demonstrations using kubectl and YAML manifests
Whether you're a beginner or brushing up your Kubernetes networking knowledge, this tutorial is perfect for you.
