I have a load balancing kubernetes service hosted in gcp called myService in the namespace myNamespace. I've given it a tag of 'myKubeTag'. I also have a vm running which itself is running a docker container that wants to communicate with the myService. I've created a firewall rule to allow tcp traffic between the two.

I can give the IP address of the service to the vm to connect, what I'm wondering is, how do I set up a name proxy, so that the vm can just reference it by name?

The workload and service are launched from helm, and look like this:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: DaemonSet
metadata:
  name: {{ template "app.prefix" . }}
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      name: {{ template "app.prefix" . }}
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        name: {{ template "app.prefix" . }}
    spec:
      nodeSelector:
        target_workload: {{ .Values.prefix }}-myApp
      containers:
        - name: myApp
          image: {{ .Values.myApp.image }}
      tolerations:
        - key: "target_workload"
          operator: "Equal"
          value: {{ .Values.prefix }}-myApp
          effect: "NoSchedule"

---

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: {{ template "app.prefix" . }}
spec:
  ports:
    - name: http
      protocol: TCP
      port: 8080
      targetPort: 8080
  type: LoadBalancer
  selector:
    role: {{ template "app.prefix" . }}

I've ready the following: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/dns-pod-service/

which makes me think that the host name would be myService.myNamespace.sxc.cluster-domain.myCluster, however the container running on my VM is throwing an Unknown host exception.
