I created two replicas of nginx with following yaml:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: nginx-deployment
spec:
  replicas: 2
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: nginx
  template:
    metadata:
      name: nginx
      labels:
        app: nginx
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: nginx
          image: nginx:1.20-alpine
          ports:
            - containerPort: 80

And I created service with:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: nginx-test-service
spec:
  selector:
    app: nginx
  ports:
    - port: 8082
      targetPort: 80

Everything looks good. But when I do

minikube service nginx-test-service

I am able to access the nginx. But when I see the two pods logs, the request is always going to single pod. The other pod is not getting any request.

But, kubernetes service should do the load balancing right?

Am I missing anything?
