According to the Kubernetes documentation, services of the ClusterIP type will populate a DNS A type record with the following schema:
pod-ip-address.my-namespace.pod.cluster.localI am having difficultly parsing this schema into a resolvable address for my application.
For example, suppose I have the following service:
subway-explorer-gmaps-proxy-service ClusterIP 10.35.252.232 <none> 9000/TCP 19mWhat will the corresponding DNS record be?
If your application is in the same namespace as the service you wish to consume, you can use the servicename:
subway-explorer-gmaps-proxy-serviceas the DNS name. Kube dns will resolve to the service IP.
If your application is not in the same namespace as that service, services get a DNS name of
$service.$namespace.svc.cluster.locale.g. if the service was created in the default namespace, it will get
subway-explorer-gmaps-proxy-service.default.svc.cluster.localThose names are resolvable anywhere in the cluster.
