I have the following deployment file

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: family-tree-deployment
  labels:
    app: familytree
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: familytree
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: familytree
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: familytree
        image: index.docker.io/koustubh/familytree:v1.0
        ports:
        - containerPort: 8080

I could successfully create the deployment using kubectl create -f deploy.yml

Now, I simply exposed this deployment with the following command

kubectl expose deployment family-tree-deployment --type=LoadBalancer --name=familytree-service

The service was successfully created.

The output is

$ kubectl get svc
    NAME                 TYPE           CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP      PORT(S)          AGE
    familytree-service   LoadBalancer   10.51.244.161   35.221.113.235   8080:30505/TCP   1h

$ kubectl describe svc familytree-service
    Name:                     familytree-service
    Namespace:                default
    Labels:                   app=familytree
    Annotations:              <none>
    Selector:                 app=familytree
    Type:                     LoadBalancer
    IP:                       10.51.244.161
    LoadBalancer Ingress:     35.221.113.235
    Port:                     <unset>  8080/TCP
    TargetPort:               8080/TCP
    NodePort:                 <unset>  30505/TCP
    Endpoints:                10.48.4.7:8080
    Session Affinity:         None
    External Traffic Policy:  Cluster
    Events:                   <none>

I could login to the pod and I made sure the service is working. However, when I use the external ip of the load balancer and query my api, the connection times out.

I have made sure firewall allows port 8080. My application is running on port 8080
