Can't curl AKS Load Balancer service - kubernetes

Question

I have an AKS cluster with default settings. I'm trying to create a very simple Deployment/Service. The Service is type LoadBlanacer. I see the service is created, however I cannot curl the service public IP. I don't even get an error, curl just hangs.
$ kubectl get all --show-labels

Answer 1

Depending on your requirements, you can create internal or public load balancer attached to application service. Post that you can access the service from outside the k8s cluster.
