When exposing a service in minikube it is possible to see its url via the following:
minikube service [-n NAMESPACE] [--url] NAMEHow do you achieve the same in microk8s?
Thank you
Realizing this is an older post, but since I just recently implemented a dev install of MicroK8s, I though perhaps I could provide some of my findings.
Wanting a load balancer, I installed MetalLB, https://metallb.universe.tf/, which provides a baremetal LB for a cluster. While MicroK8s does offer an addon for this, I did a manual installation to help myself gain a better understanding.
I used the Layer 2 Configuration option, https://metallb.universe.tf/configuration/#layer-2-configuration which provided a very simple way to expose my services via a load balancer.
To use the config, I then added an annotation to the services that utilize it, indicating which address pool, which for my deployment, I simply call microk8s_pool.
metallb.universe.tf/address-pool: microk8s_poolNot sure about microk8s, but in minikube you'd be able to see LoadBalancer services' IP addresses once you run "minikube tunnel" in a separate command shell (and keep it open). Running minikube tunnel, gets the LoadBalancer services exposed to the outsize and then you can see the IPs through "minikube service".
minikube service [-n NAMESPACE] Name
