Create Services

Introduction

Kubernetes Service defines a logical set of Pods and a policy by which to access them. Service can be exposed in different ways by specifying a type in the serviceSpec. StatefulSet currently requires a Headless Service to control the domain of its Pods, directly reach each Pod with stable DNS entries. By specifying “None” for the clusterIP, you can create Headless Service.

Create Services

Copy/Paste the following commands into your Cloud9 Terminal.

cd ~/environment/templates
wget https://eksworkshop.com/beginner/170_statefulset/services.files/mysql-services.yml

Check the configuration of mysql-services.yml by following command.

cat ~/environment/templates/mysql-services.yml

You can see the mysql service is for DNS resolution so that when pods are placed by StatefulSet controller, pods can be resolved using pod-name.mysql. mysql-read is a client service that does load balancing for all slaves.


# Headless service for stable DNS entries of StatefulSet members.

# Client service for connecting to any MySQL instance for reads.
# For writes, you must instead connect to the master: mysql-0.mysql.
