I recently started working on a code base that uses fabric8 to manage containers, pods, services, etc. in kubernetes.

After creating a service for a given pod, I need to inform our end users of the external IP via which they can access said service.

From the command line (kubectl), I would do a describe, and get output like this

kubectl  describe  service   spark-master
    Name:           spark-master
    Namespace:      5683616f16426028459a535c
    Labels:         group=krylov-dev,name=spark-master
    Selector:       name=spark-master
    Type:           LoadBalancer
    IP:         10.0.0.103
    Port:           7077    7077/TCP
    NodePort:       7077    31988/TCP
    Endpoints:      172.17.0.2:7077
    Port:           7070    7070/TCP
    NodePort:       7070    32539/TCP
    Endpoints:      172.17.0.2:7070  <<- this is what i want!
    Session Affinity:   None
    No events.

I used wireshark to trace the REST API calls that were being made when the above command runs, and it seems the raw Kubernetes REST API accesses the above info via a URL like this

GET /api/v1/namespaces/my_namespace_whatever/endpoints/spark-master 

So, I could theoretically get the info I want via the raw Kubernetes REST API. But since we are using fabric8, I would prefer to stick to that if there is any way to accomplish this with their API.

I see that there is class that carries info about endpoints in fabric8
( io.fabric8.kubernetes.api.model.Endpoints), but I searched and could find no documentation on how to query a service for its Endpoints information.

Also, when using the fabric8 API to watch for events we have tried looking at service.getStatus.getLoadBalancer.getIngress() (whenever we get a an event associated with our service), but this is always empty ;^(

would be most grateful for any tips or guidance.... -chris
