Finding the URL for an AKS Cluster
I've set-up an AKS cluster and am now trying to connect to it. My deployment YAML is here:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
spec:
containers:
- name: dockertest20190205080020
image: dockertest20190205080020.azurecr.io/dockertest
ports:
- containerPort: 443
metadata:
name: my-testIf I run the dashboard, I get this:
Which looks like it should be telling me the external endpoint, but isn't. I have a theory that this is because the Yaml file is only deploying a Pod, which is in some way not able to expose an endpoint - is that the case and if so, why? Otherwise, how can I find this endpoint?

Thats not how that works, you need to read up on basic kubernetes concept. Pods are only container, to expose pods you need to create services (and you need labels), to expose pods externally you need to set service type to LoadBalancer. You probably want to use deployments instead of pods, its a lot easier\reliable.
https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/
https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/deployment/
so in short, you need to add labels to your pod and create a service of type load balancer with selectors that match your pods labels
kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: my-service
spec:
selector:
app: MyApp
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 80
targetPort: 443
type: LoadBalancer
