👋 Hey there, amazing learners! 🌟 Remember the confetti celebration 🎊 we had on Day 33 for conquering Deployments in K8s? Well, get ready for another round of learning! 📚

🤔 So, what exactly are Services in K8s?

Think of Services as friendly middlemen 🤝 that make life easier for your Pods. Imagine you have a bunch of Pods doing their thing, but their IP addresses might change. Services step in to give these Pods a consistent identity and handle the behind-the-scenes IP stuff. They're like VIP access points that help Pods talk to each other and outside visitors.

📝 Task-1: Let's Create a Service for Your todo-app Deployment from Day-32

  1. Write down a Service definition for your todo-app Deployment. Put it in a YAML file. 📄

  2. Time to put that definition to work! Use the magic words 👉 kubectl apply -f service.yml -n <namespace-name>.

  3. Now, let's play detective 🕵️‍♂️. Verify that the Service is up and running by reaching out to your todo-app using the Service's IP and Port in your Namespace. 🕸️

⚙️ Task-2: Creating a ClusterIP Service

  1. Cook up a ClusterIP Service definition for your todo-app Deployment. Write it in your trusty YAML file. 🍳

  2. To make the magic happen, type 👉 kubectl apply -f cluster-ip-service.yml -n <namespace-name>.

  3. Now, let's test this out! Imagine your todo-app as a cozy cafe ☕. Head to another Pod in the cluster and enjoy a cup while checking out the todo-app. ☕📝

🌐 Task-3: Setting up a LoadBalancer Service

  1. Get creative with a LoadBalancer Service definition for your todo-app Deployment. You know the drill - put it in a YAML file. 🎨

  2. With a flourish, use 👉 kubectl apply -f load-balancer-service.yml -n <namespace-name> to make it real.

  3. Time to show off your creation! Access the todo-app from outside the cluster, almost like showing your masterpiece in an art gallery. 🖼️

🎉 And there you have it, brave Kubernetes explorers! You've mastered working with Services! 🙌 Give yourself a pat on the back and a virtual high-five! 🖐️

So remember, Services are like the social connectors of the Kubernetes world, making sure Pods can mingle and play nice. Now go forth and conquer those K8s challenges! 🚢🌌

Keep shining bright like the tech stars you are! 🌟 Until we meet again on Day 35, keep learning and keep smiling! 😄👋
