{% capture overview %}
This page shows how to create a Kubernetes Service object that external
clients can use to access an application running in a cluster. The
Service exposes a stable IP address and provides load balancing for
an application that has two running instances.
{% endcapture %}
{% capture prerequisites %}
* Install [kubectl](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/prereqs).
* Create a Kubernetes cluster, including a running Kubernetes
API server. One way to create a new cluster is to use
[Minikube](/docs/getting-started-guides/minikube).
* Configure `kubectl` to communicate with your Kubernetes API server. This
configuration is done automatically if you use Minikube.
{% endcapture %}
{% capture objectives %}
* Run two instances of a Hello World application.
* Create a Service object that exposes an external IP address.
* Use the Service object to access the running application.

### Creating a service for an application running in two pods
1. Run a Hello World application in your cluster:
kubectl run hello-world --replicas=2 --labels="run=load-balancer-example" --image=gcr.io/google-samples/node-hello:1.0 --port=8080
The preceding command creates a
[Deployment](/docs/user-guide/deployments/)
object and an associated
[ReplicaSet](/docs/user-guide/replicasets/)
object. The ReplicaSet has two
[Pods](/docs/user-guide/pods/),
each of which runs the Hello World application.
1. Display information about the Deployment:
kubectl get deployments hello-world
kubectl describe deployments hello-world
1. Display information about the ReplicaSet:
kubectl get replicasets hello-world
kubectl describe replicasets hello-world
1. List the pods that are running the Hello World application:
kubectl get pods --selector="run=load-balancer-example"
The output is similar to this:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
hello-world-2189936611-8fyp0 1/1 Running 0 6m
hello-world-2189936611-9isq8 1/1 Running 0 6m
1. Create a Service object that exposes the deployment:
kubectl expose deployment hello-world --type="LoadBalancer" --name="example-service"
1. Display the IP addresses for your service:
kubectl get services example-service
The output shows the internal IP address and the external IP address of
your service. If the external IP address shows as `<pending>`, repeat the
command.
Note: If you are using Minikube, you don't get an external IP address. The
external IP address remains in the pending state.
NAME CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
example-service 10.0.0.160 <pending> 8080/TCP 40s
1. Use your service to access the Hello World application:
curl <your-external-ip-address>:8080
where `<your-external-ip-address>` is the external IP address of your
service.
The output is a hello message from the application:
Hello Kubernetes!
Note: If you are using Minikube, enter these commands:
kubectl cluster-info
kubectl describe services example-service
The output displays the IP address of your Minikube node and the NodePort
value for your service. Enter this command to access the Hello World
application:
curl <minikube-node-ip-address>:<service-node-port>
where `<minikube-node-ip-address>` us the IP address of your Minikube node,
and `<service-node-port>` is the NodePort value for your service.
### Using a service configuration file
As an alternative to using `kubectl expose`, you can use a
[service configuration file](/docs/user-guide/services/operations)
to create a Service.
{% endcapture %}
{% capture cleanup %}
To delete the Service, enter this command:
kubectl delete services example-service
To delete the Deployment, the ReplicaSet, and the Pods that are running
the Hello World application, enter this command:
kubectl delete deployment hello-world
