Kubernetes expose does not work from file

4/25/2020

If I run command

kubectl expose deployments/some-app --type=NodePort

it works.

If I run command

kubectl apply -f expose.yml

Where the content of expose.yml is

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: some-app
  labels:
    app: some-app
spec:
  type: NodePort
  ports:
    - port: 8080
  selector:
    app: some-app

I cannot reach the service.

What is the difference? Why the 2nd approach does not work?

EDIT: Use NodePort in the yml as well

EDIT: Result of command kubectl expose deployments/some-app --type=NodePort --dry-run -o yaml:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: null
  labels:
    app: some-app
    type: spring-app
  name: some-app
spec:
  ports:
  - port: 8080
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: 8080
  selector:
    name: some-app
  type: NodePort
status:
  loadBalancer: {}

You can get the yaml version of the Service you created using this command:

kubectl expose deployments/some-app --type=NodePort

With:

kubectl get service <your-service> -o yaml

And then compare both of it, the one you created using yaml and the one you created using expose command.

In your expose command you use --type=NodePort, but in svc type=ClusterIP. If you want to see what expose command created then add --dry-run --o yaml at the end of the command. You should see like following.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  labels:
    run: some-app
  name: some-app
spec:
  ports:
  - port: 8080
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: 8080
  selector:
    app: some-app
  type: NodePort

NB: After discussion in comment, you need to ensure app: some-app exists on pod leve.
