Access pod from another pod with kubernetes url - kubernetes

I have two pods created with deployment and service. my problem is as follows the pod "my-gateway" accesses the url "adm-contact" of "http://127.0.0.1:3000/adm-contact" which accesses another pod called "my-adm-contact" as can i make this work? I tried the following command: kubectl port-forward my-gateway-5b85498f7d-5rwnn 3000:3000 8879:8879 but it gives this error:
E0526 21:56:34.024296 12428 portforward.go:400] an error occurred forwarding 3000 -> 3000: error forwarding port 3000 to pod 2d5811c20c3762c6c249a991babb71a107c5dd6b080c3c6d61b4a275b5747815, uid : exit status 1: 2022/05/27 00:56:35 socat[2494] E connect(16, AF=2 127.0.0.1:3000, 16): Connection refused
Remembering that the images created with dockerfile are with EXPOSE 3000 8879

What k8s-cluster environment are you running this in? I ask because the service.type of LoadBalancer is a special kind: at pod initialisation your cloud provider's admission controller will spot this and add in a loadbalancer config See https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#loadbalancer
If you're not deploying this in a suitable cloud environment, your services won't do anything.
I had a quick look at your SO profile and - sorry if this is presumptious, I don't mean to be - it looks like you're relatively new to k8s. You shouldn't need to do any port-forwarding/kubectl proxying, and this should be a lot simpler than you might think.
When you create a service k8s will 'create' a DNS entry for you which points to the pod(s) specified by your selector.
I think you're trying to reach a setup where code running in my-gateway pod can connect to http://adm-contact on port 3000 and reach a listening service on the adm-contact pod. Is that correct?
If so, the outline solution is to expose tcp/3000 in the adm-contact pod, and create a service called adm-contact that has a selector for adm-contact pod.
This is a sample manifest I've just created which runs nginx and then creates a service for it, allowing any pod on the cluster to connect to it e.g. curl http://nginx-service.default.svc In this example I'm exposing port 80 because I didn't want to have to modify the nginx config, but the principle is the same.
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
labels:
app: nginx
name: nginx
spec:
containers:
- image: nginx
imagePullPolicy: Always
name: nginx
ports:
- containerPort: 80
protocol: TCP
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: nginx-service
spec:
ports:
- port: 80
protocol: TCP
targetPort: 80
selector:
app: nginx
type: ClusterIP
The k8s docs on Services are pretty helpful if you want more https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/connect-applications-service/

a service can be reached on it's own name from pods in it's namespace:
so a service foo in namespace bar can be reached at http://foo from a pod in namespace bar
from other namespaces that service is reachable at http://foo.bar.svc.cluster.local. Change out the servicename and namespace for your usecase.
k8s dns is explained here in the docs:
https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/dns-pod-service/

I have taken the YAML you provided and assembled it here.
From another comment I see the URL you're trying to connect to is: http://gateway-service.default.svc.cluster.local:3000/my-adm-contact-service
The ability to resolve service names to pods only functions inside the cluster: coredns (a k8s pod) is the part which recognises when a service has been created and what IP(s) it's available at.
So another pod in the cluster e.g. one created by kubectl run bb --image=busybox -it -- sh would be able to resolve the command ping gateway-service, but pinging gateway-service from your desktop will fail because they're not both seeing the same DNS.
The api-gateway container will be able to make a connect to my-adm-contact-service on ports 3000 or 8879, and the my-adm-contact container will equally be able to connect to gateway-service on port 3000 - but only when those containers are running inside the cluster.
I think you're trying to access this from outside the cluster, so now the port/service types are correct you could re-try a kubectl port-forward svc/gateway-service 3000:3000 This will let you connect to 127.0.0.1:3000 and the traffic will be routed to port 3000 on the api-gateway container.
If you need to proxy to the other my-adm-contact-service then you'll have to issue similar kubectl commands in other shells, one per service:port combination. For completeness, if you wanted to route traffic from your local machine to all three container/port sets, you'd run:
# format kubectl port-forward svc/name src:dest (both TCP)
kubectl port-forward svc/gateway-service 3000:3000
kubectl port-forward svc/my-adm-contact-service 8879:8879
kubectl port-forward svc/my-adm-contact-service 3001:3000 #NOTE the changed local port, because localhost:3000 is already used
You will need a new shell for each kubectl, or run it as a background job.

Why can't I curl endpoint on GCP?

I am working my way through a kubernetes tutorial using GKE, but it was written with Azure in mind - tho it has been working ok so far.
The first part where it has not worked has been with exercises regarding coreDNS - which I understand does not exist on GKE - it's kubedns only?
Is this why I can't get a pod endpoint with:
export PODIP=$(kubectl get endpoints hello-world-clusterip -o jsonpath='{ .subsets[].addresses[].ip}')
and then curl:
curl http://$PODIP:8080
My deployment is definitely on the right port:
ports:
- containerPort: 8080
And, in fact, the deployment for the tut is from a google sample.
Is this to do with coreDNS or authorisation/needing a service account? What can I do to make the curl request work?
Deployment yaml is:

spec:

app: hello-world-customdns

Having a deeper insight on what Gari comments, when exposing a service outside your cluster, this services must be configured as NodePort or LoadBalancer, since ClusterIP only exposes the Service on a cluster-internal IP making the service only reachable from within the cluster, and since Cloud Shell is a a shell environment for managing resources hosted on Google Cloud, and not part of the cluster, that's why you're not getting any response. To change this, you can change your yaml file with the following:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: hello-world-customdns
spec:
replicas: 3
selector:
matchLabels:
app: hello-world-customdns
template:

metadata:
name: hello-world-customdns
spec:
selector:
app: hello-world-customdns
type: NodePort
ports:
- port: 80
protocol: TCP
targetPort: 8080
After redeploying your service, you can run command kubectl get all -o wide on cloud shell to validate that NodePort type service has been created with a node and target port.
To test your deployment just throw a CURL test to he external IP from one of your nodes incluiding the node port that was assigned, the command should look like something like:
curl <node_IP_address>:<Node_port>

Not able to access the application using Load Balancer service in Azure Kubernetes Service

I have created small nginx deployment and type as LoadBalancer in Azure Kubernetes service, but I was unable to access the application using LoadBalaner service. Can some one provide the solution
I have already updated security group to allow all traffic, but no use.
Do I need to update any security group to access the application?
Please find the deployment file.
cat nginx.yml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: nginx-kubernetes

type: LoadBalancer
ports:
- port: 8080
targetPort: 8080

template:
metadata:

app: hello-kubernetes
spec:
containers:
- name: hello-kubernetes
image: nginx:latest
ports:
- containerPort: 8080
Nginx container is using port 80 by default and you are trying to connect to port 8080 where nothing is listening and thus getting connection refused.
Take a look here at nginx conateiner Dockerfile. What port do you see?
All you need to do to make it work is to change target port like following:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: nginx-kubernetes
spec:
ports:
- port: 8080
targetPort: 80
selector:
app: hello-kubernetes
Additionally it would be nice to change containerPort as following:
spec:
containers:
- name: hello-kubernetes
image: nginx:latest
ports:
- containerPort: 80

In kubernetes services, not able to use ports 6000 and 8081

I have a Kubernetes service (a Python Flask application) exposed publicly on port 6000 using the LoadBalancer type.
When I am using kubectl to send the YAML file to Kubernetes by running the following command:
kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml
I got the status of the service as running.
When I am navigating to http://localhost:6000, I am not able to see the “Hello from Python!”
I tried using port 8081, and that is also not working. But when I am using port 8088, it's working.
deployment.yaml file which I am using:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: hello-python-service
spec:
selector:
app: hello-python
ports:
- protocol: "TCP"
port: 6000
targetPort: 5000

Why some ports like 6000 or 8081 are not working and why some ports like 8088 or 9000 are working?

cannot expose port using kubernetes service

My objective: To expose a pod's(running angular image) port so that I can access it from the host machine's browser.
service.yml:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: my-frontend-service
spec:
selector:
app: MyApp
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 8000
targetPort: 4200
Pod's yml:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: angular.frontend
labels:
app: MyApp
spec:
containers:
- name: angular-frontend-demo
image: angular-frontend-image
ports:
- name: nodejs-port
containerPort: 4200
Weird thing is that doing kubectl port-forward pod/angular.frontend 8000:4200 works. However, my objective is to write that in service.yml
Use Nodeport:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: my-frontend-service
spec:
selector:
app: MyApp
type: NodePort
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 8000
targetPort: 4200
nodePort: 30001
then you can access the service on nodeport 30001 on any node of the cluster.
For example the machine name is node01 , you can then do curl http://node01:30001
The service you've defined here is of type ClusterIP (since you haven't set a type in the spec). This means the service is only available and reachable within the cluster. You can use Ingress to make it accessible from outside the cluster, see for example this post showing how to do that for Minikube.

How to make two Kubernetes Services talk to each other?

Currently, I have working K8s API pods in a K8s service that connects to a K8s Redis service, with K8s pods of it's own. The problem is, I am using NodePort meaning BOTH are exposed to the public. I only want the API accessable to the public. The issue is that if I make the Redis service not public, the API can't see it. Is there a way to connect two Services without exposing one to the public?
This is my API service yaml:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: app-api-svc
spec:
selector:
app: app-api
tier: api
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 5000
nodePort: 30400
type: NodePort
And this is my Redis service yaml:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: app-api-redis-svc
spec:
selector:
app: app-api-redis
tier: celery_broker
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 6379
nodePort: 30537
type: NodePort
First, configure the Redis service as a ClusterIP service. It will be private, visible only for other services. This is could be done removing the line with the option type.
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: app-api-redis-svc
spec:
selector:
app: app-api-redis
tier: celery_broker
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 6379
targetPort: [the port exposed by the Redis pod]
Finally, when you configure the API to reach Redis, the address should be app-api-redis-svc:6379
And that's all. I have a lot of services communicating each other in this way. If this doesn't work for you, let me know in the comments.
I'm going to try to take the best from all answers and my own research and make a short guide that I hope you will find helpful:
1. Test connectivity
Connect to a different pod, eg ruby pod:
kubectl exec -it some-pod-name -- /bin/sh
Verify it can ping to the service in question:
ping redis
Can it connect to the port? (I found telnet did not work for this)
nc -zv redis 6379
2. Verify your service selectors are correct
If your service config looks like this:
kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: redis
labels:
app: redis
role: master
tier: backend
spec:
ports:
- port: 6379
targetPort: 6379
selector:
app: redis
role: master
tier: backend
verify those selectors are also set on your pods?
get pods --selector=app=redis,role=master,tier=backend
Confirm that your service is tied to your pods by running:
$> describe service redis
Name: redis
Namespace: default
Labels: app=redis
role=master
tier=backend
Annotations: <none>
Selector: app=redis,role=master,tier=backend
Type: ClusterIP
IP: 10.47.250.121
Port: <unset> 6379/TCP
Endpoints: 10.44.0.16:6379
Session Affinity: None
Events: <none>
check the Endpoints: field and confirm it's not blank

I'm not sure about redis, but I have a similar application. I have a Java web application running as a pod that is exposed to the outside world through a nodePort. I have a mongodb container running as a pod.
In the webapp deployment specifications, I map it to the mongodb service through its name by passing the service name as parameter, I have pasted the specification below. You can modify accordingly.There should be a similar mapping parameter in Redis also where you would have to use the service name which is "mongoservice" in my case.

Note that the mongodb service doesnt need to be exposed as a NodePort.
Kubernetes enables inter service communication by allowing services communicate with other services using their service name.
In your scenario, redis service should be accessible from other services on
http://app-api-redis-svc.default:6379. Here default is the namespace under which your service is running.
This internally routes your requests to your redis pod running on the target container port
