Ok, following the examples and documentation on the Kubernetes website along with extensive research on Google, I still cannot get DNS resolution between the containers within my Pod.

I have a Service and a PetSet with 2 containers defined. When I deploy the PetSet and Service, they start and run successfully, but if I attempt to ping the host of one of my containers from the other by hostname or by the full domain name I get destination unreachable. I can ping by IP address though.

Here is my Kubernetes configuration file:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: ml-service
  labels:
    app: marklogic
  annotations:
    service.alpha.kubernetes.io/tolerate-unready-endpoints: "true"
spec:
  #restartPolicy: OnFailure
  clusterIP: None
  selector:
    app: marklogic
  ports:
    - protocol: TCP
      port: 7997
      #nodePort: 31997
      name: ml7997
    - protocol: TCP
      port: 8000
      #nodePort: 32000
      name: ml8000
    # ... More ports defined
  #type: NodePort

            - containerPort: 8060
              name: ml8060
          env:

              valueFrom:
                fieldRef:
                  fieldPath: status.podIP
          lifecycle:
            preStop:
              exec:
                command: ["/etc/init.d/MarkLogic stop"]
          volumeMounts:
            - name: ml-data
              mountPath: /data

        accessModes: [ "ReadWriteOnce" ]
        resources:
          requests:
            storage: 1Gi

I commented out the type: NodePort definition as I thought that might be the culprit, but still no success.

Additionally, if I run docker@minikube:/$ docker exec b4d21c4bc065 /bin/bash -c 'nslookup marklogic-1.marklogic.default.svc.cluster.local' it cannot resolve the name.

What am I missing???
