K8s Load Balancer

We can deploy the Docker image to the Kubernetes Cluster. The container runs inside a Pod in the Kubernetes cluster. After deploying an application in the Kubernetes cluster, everyone wants to access the application externally. We can not access the Pod(container) directly. Why because the Pod IP will change when the Pod destroys. If you want to access the application externally the Kubernetes offers us a component named service. The service component in the Kubernetes cluster will act as a static IP. We can access the application by creating a service for the Pod(container running applications).

Kubernetes service had three types.

1. Node Port

2. ClusterIP

3. Load Balancer

In this article, we are going to see the Load Balancer. The Load Balancer service is a well-suited type when you are scaling the application.
