.metadata Elements

labels

The labels declared here apply to the service instance itself, they have no relationship to the target pods' labels, which are declared in the spec selector. Also see:

Manifest Metadata - labels

.spec Elements

type

Optional element. If not specified, it is assumed to be "ClusterIP". Other values: "NodePort", "LoadBalancer", "ExternalName".

selector

The service will select the pods to be exposed based on the labels specified in this selector. Also see:

Service Concepts - Associating a Service with Pods

ports

The element contains an array of ports that will exposed by the service. A port is specified by the following elements:

port

The port exposed by the service externally. This is the port the service will be available on, and the value will be used by the external clients connecting to the service. Also see:

Service Port

targetPort

The port exposed by the pods associated with the service. The service will forward requests over connections opened with this port as target. The port can be specified using an integral value, but also using a name that was declared in the pod's manifest. For more details see:

Service Target Port

name

When more than one port is configured, each port must carry a name. See:

Port Name

nodePort

See:

By default is "None". The only other possible option is "ClientIP". For more details see:
