The nodePort service is used to help applications access a service from outside the kubernetes cluster.
The nodePort service opens a port on the host containing the pod within the following range (30000 - 32767).
Below is the Yaml configuration file of our nodePort service:
Below is the Yaml file of the pods attached to the above nodePort service:
To connect the nodePort service to its pods, we use the label "app: nginx" on the pod and the label selector "app: nginx" on the service.
We can create both our pod and its nodePort service, using the below command:
To display our nodePort service, we use the below command:
The nodePort service looks for pods that have labels that match its selector and forwards its requests to.
Pods spanning multiple hosts:
If our "nginx" pods are hosted on different nodes instead of one - like in the example above -, kubernetes opens the same nodePort port on all the nodes that host our pods:
