I have a flask app running on a remote Kubernetes cluster and when I'm accessing it on the inside it works. However, when I'm trying to access it from the outside nothing happens. I'm using kind to create the cluster. Locally I can access the flask app via node's IP address. I'm don't know how to access the service from the outside, do I need to do something else to be able to access the app.

Create a NodePort or LoadBalancer (works only on supported cloud providers) service to expose the deployment outside the cluster.
Here is a guide on how to use NodePort service.
To be be able to access an app via NodePort service the Node IP need to be reachable(i.e should be in same network) from the system where you are accessing it.
