Kubernetes provides a feature called service discovery. It gives containers their own IP addresses and a single DNS name and can load-balance across them. Services are responsible for communication between pods. You can see in architecture where serviceIP is actually a key component for the service discovery. It consists of DNS mapping with Pod IP(iptables)....
What is a Pod? A pod is the deployment unit for the Kubernetes. It is also having the life cycle just like the process in Linux. Pods are mortal, i.e. they can die and be reborn. Each pod consists of a unique Id (UID) which is different for each of them. A Pod consists of...
