Kubernetes Weirdness: Cannot Visit Localhost, But Can Use Curl

I am following this tutorial: https://kubernetes.io/blog/2019/07/23/get-started-with-kubernetes-using-python/ on mac osx I have completed all of the steps hello-python-6c7b478cf5-h

Solution 1:

If you are running this demo application on minikube then minikube doesn't supports LB external IP. You can check pending status with this command : kubectl get svc -o wide.

Resolution : The LoadBalancer service get a node port assigned too so you can access services via: $ minikube service my-loadbalancer-service-name to open browser or add --url flag to output service URL to terminal. You should see something like: $ minikube service hello-python-service --url this command will give url output .
