I have searched for this issue and seen solutions, but I am not able to figure out the issue. Basically I am not able to curl to the external IP/Port that I have created with replica controller (I am aware that this is going to be deprecated, trying to start from scratch).

$ kubectl run kubia-container --image=australia/kubia_py --port=8080 --generator=run/v1
kubectl run --generator=run/v1 is DEPRECATED and will be removed in a future version. Use kubectl run --generator=run-pod/v1 or kubectl create instead.
replicationcontroller/kubia-container created

$ kubectl get pods
