I am using spring cloud kubernetes with spring boot and necessary RBAC requirements needed for the project.

<!-- kubernetes -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes-config</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes-ribbon</artifactId>
        </dependency>

I have 2 microservices running in kubernetes

1. my-service
2. some-service

The my-service is running with spring boot 2.x and some-service is running with Spring boot 1.x. Both the services are exposed via the Kubernetes Service and with proper endpoints.

excerpt of application.yaml for my-service is as below.

some-service:
      url: http://some-service:8080
      serviceName: some-service

And the FeignClient used is as below.

//FeignClient(url = "${some-service.url}") // does not work either
@FeignClient(value = "${some-service.serviceName}")
@RequestMapping("/api")
public interface SomeServiceClient {

Also I have made spring.cloud.kubernetes.discovery.enabled=false

With this in place I expect that my-service should be able to talk to some-service via kubernetes service discovery But I get this error.

ERROR c.b.d.m.s.c.MatchCoordinator - error=FeignException: status 404 reading SomeServiceClient#get(Test
ion,Output) stacktrace=feign.FeignException: status 404 reading SomeServiceClient#get

I am unable to understand what am I doing wrong. Also I do not have the spring.application.name set for some-service since its a third party service.

Can someone please help. Also FYI that the services work properly with port-forwarding and if accessed via Ingress.
