Summary

In this chapter, we covered the different ways in which we can expose our application running on Pods. We have seen how we can use a ClusterIP Service to expose an application inside the cluster. We have also seen how we can use a NodePort Service to expose an application outside the cluster. We have also covered the LoadBalancer and ExternalName Services in brief.

Now that we have created a Deployment and learned how to make it accessible from the external world, in the next chapter, we will focus on storage aspects. There, we will cover reading and storing data on disk, in and across Pods.
