One of the most subtle issues to hunt down is why isn't my service acting as I expect? A common error to see in these cases is this message:
no endpoints available for service
If you have created a deployment and a service together, and everything seems to be running, but when you access the service endpoint you see this output:
{
"kind": "Status",
"apiVersion": "v1",
"metadata": {
},
"status": "Failure",
"message": "no endpoints available for service \"flask-service\"",
"reason": "ServiceUnavailable",
"code": 503
}
In this case, I received this message when using kubectl proxy to access the service endpoint flask-service through the proxy using the URL:
http://localhost:8001/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/default/services/flask-service ...
