Why can't you ping a Kubernetes service? Learnk8s runs a 4-day Advanced Kubernetes course on Sep 30, and you will get to the bottom of questions like this (spoiler: services only exist in etcd). You will also learn the nitty-gritty details of Kubernetes networking: - How to plan and design a cluster network. - How do the four Kubernetes services extend each other, and what do you gain from each? - How CoreDNS, Ingress, and kube-proxy consume the Kubernetes currency: endpoints. This (and much more) is covered on the third day of the course. You can find the full agenda, a breakdown of the modules and how to sign up here: https://kube.events/t/06d19f85-4645-42f7-87c5-040888900b9d Are you training your team?
