I have a POD and service of type ClusterIP deployed on Minikube.

If my understanding is correct, service ClusterIP isn't available from outside of the cluster, but should be available inside Minikube.

So I do:

kubectl describe service mk-backend

and get

Name:              mk-backend
Namespace:         default
Labels:            <none>
Annotations:       <none>
Selector:          app=mk-backend
Type:              ClusterIP
IP Family Policy:  SingleStack
IP Families:       IPv4
IP:                10.98.69.245
IPs:               10.98.69.245
Port:              <unset>  8080/TCP
TargetPort:        8080/TCP
Endpoints:         172.17.0.10:8080,172.17.0.8:8080,172.17.0.9:8080
Session Affinity:  None
Events:            <none>

Now I'm joining minikube by ssh:

minikube ssh

and here I expect the following to be working:

curl http://mk-backend:8080

But this gives me an error:

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: mk-backend

I also tried the following

curl mk-backend.svc.cluster.local:8080/
curl 172.17.0.10:8080/
curl 10.98.69.245:8080/

but none of them works. I checked service and POD are up and running. What am I doing wrong?
