The external IP address of load balancer is not shown from kubectl get svc
.
In Minikube, EXTERNAL-IP
in kubectl get svc
shows <pending>
state for your service. In this case, you can run minikube service [service_name]
to open your service without external IP address.
$ kubectl get svc
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
...
calculator-front-end LoadBalancer 10.103.98.37 <pending> 80:30534/TCP 25h
calculator-front-end-dapr ClusterIP 10.107.128.226 <none> 80/TCP,50001/TCP 25h
...
$ minikube service calculator-front-end
