Hello every one i have created a headless service using ExternalName type to access database residing outside my cluster but i am not able to connect to this service and even ping it from my pods in the cluster .Need help as to what am i doing wrong.I am using the kubernetes that comes shipped with docker-desktop-for-windows
ExternalName service yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: dbservice
spec:
type: ExternalName
externalName: geekdude9094 //my hostname
results when bin bashing into one of the pods and pinging the service
root@service-app-6ffb5c88fb-5kvcd:/usr/local/tomcat# ping dbservice

kubernetes version: 1.10.11 both client and serverI think the reason you can't access the service is that docker-desktop-for-windows run a virtual machine with different networking layers. So from point of networking the cluster cloudn't reach this 192.168.10.1 network because as far as I know, docker windows virtual machine use 10.0.75.0 subnet address. Maybe you can use this option
