Google Cloud Container: Can not connect to mongodb service - mongodb

Question

I created a mongodb replication controller and a mongo service. I tried to connect to it from a different mongo pod just to test the connection. But that does not work
root#mongo-test:/# mongo mongo-service/mydb
MongoDB shell version: 3.2.0
connecting to: mongo-service/mydb
2015-12-09T11:05:55.256+0000 E QUERY [thread1] Error: network error while attempting to run command 'isMaster' on host 'mongo-service:27017' :
connect#src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:226:14
#(connect):1:6
exception: connect failed
I am not sure what I have done wrong in the configuration. I may miss something here
kubectl get rc
CONTROLLER CONTAINER(S) IMAGE(S) SELECTOR REPLICAS AGE
mongo mongo mongo:latest name=mongo 1 9s
kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
mongo-6bnak 1/1 Running 0 1m
mongo-test 1/1 Running 0 21m
kubectl get services
NAME CLUSTER_IP EXTERNAL_IP PORT(S) SELECTOR AGE
kubernetes 10.119.240.1 <none> 443/TCP <none> 23h
mongo-service 10.119.254.202 <none> 27017/TCP name=mongo,role=mongo 1m
I configured the RC and Service with the following configs
mongo-rc
{
"metadata": {
"name": "mongo",
"labels": { "name": "mongo" }
},
"kind": "ReplicationController",
"apiVersion": "v1",
"spec": {
"replicas": 1,
"template": {
"metadata": {
"labels": { "name": "mongo" }
},
"spec": {
"volumes": [
{
"name": "mongo-disk",
"gcePersistentDisk": {
"pdName": "mongo-disk",
"fsType": "ext4"
}
}
],
"containers": [
{
"name": "mongo",
"image": "mongo:latest",
"ports": [{
"name":"mongo",
"containerPort": 27017
}],
"volumeMounts": [
{
"name": "mongo-disk",
"mountPath": "/data/db"
}
]
}
]
}
}
}
}
mongo-service:
{
"kind": "Service",
"apiVersion": "v1",
"metadata": {
"name": "mongo-service"
},
"spec": {
"ports": [
{
"port": 27017,
"targetPort": "mongo"
}
],
"selector": {
"name": "mongo",
"role": "mongo"
}
}
}

Almost a bit embarrassing.
The issue was that I used the selector "role" in the service but did not define it on the RC.
