I have kubernetes cluster. I have started mysql from kubectl. I have a image of spring boot application. I am confused with the JDBC url to be used in application.yml. I have tried multiple IP addresses by describing pods, services etc. It is getting errored out with "communication Link failure"
Below is my mysql-deployment.yml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: mysql
spec:
#type: NodePort

- port: 3306
#targetPort: 3306

below is my output of kubectl get svc
kubectl get svc
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
kubernetes ClusterIP 10.96.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 9d
mysql ClusterIP None <none> 3306/TCP 2h
registry NodePort 10.110.33.13 <none> 8761:31881/TCP 7d
Your K8S service should expose port and targetPort 3306 and in your JDBC URL use the name of that service: jdbc:mysql://mysql/database
If your MySQL is a backend service only for apps running in K8S you don't need nodePort in the service manifest.
If you get a SQLException: Connection refused
or Connection timed out
or a MySQL specific CommunicationsException: Communications link failure
, then it means that the DB isn't reachable at all.
This can have one or more of the following causes:
IP address or hostname in JDBC URL is wrong.
Hostname in JDBC URL is not recognized by local DNS server.
Port number is missing or wrong in JDBC URL.
DB server is down.
DB server doesn't accept TCP/IP connections.
DB server has run out of connections.
Something in between Java and DB is blocking connections, e.g. a firewall or proxy.
I suggest these steps to better understand the problem:
Connect to MySQL pod and verify the content of the /etc/mysql/my.cnf
file
Connect to MySQL from inside the pod to verify it works
Remove clusterIP: None
from Service manifest
