Edit - I've applied a LoadBalancer to each of my services and only my frontend is running the correct image. My other images are running flask, but I can't open the url's I have in my latest images. My images are hosted on Docker repo's and I'm running google cloud.

I'm trying to deploy my service that I have been running locally on minikube to the cloud. Everything works as expected when running locally, however, when I moved to the cloud it seems I cannot get a response from any of my pods when I get a request. I am probably doing something silly here as I have never attempted Kube on the cloud. Can someone shed some light? It appears kube cannot resolve the address of my service.
