Next, we should deploy a Service that sits in front of the backend Pods. As a recap, every backend Pod inside the backend Deployment will have its own IP address, but these addresses can change as Pods are destroyed and created. Having a Service that sits in front of these Pods allow other parts of the application to access these backend Pods in a consistent manner.
Create a new manifest file at ./manifests/backend/service.yaml with the following content:
apiVersion: v1kind: Servicemetadata: name: backend labels: app: backendspec: selector: app: backend ports:
- port: 8080 name: api - port: 8100 name: docs
And deploy it using kubectl apply:
$ kubectl apply -f ./manifests/backend/service.yamlservice "backend" created ...
