Projects:Kubernetes: verschil tussen versies

* <code>NodePort</code> is a service type indicating that the application should be externally accessible using a "service port" on all Nodes. The service port will be allocated by Kubernetes (you can choose it, but that's not recommended) and distributed to all nodes, so that a connection to any node on the service port will automatically end up on one of its running Pods. A NodePort service also automatically gets a ClusterIP, so you can use that, too.

* <code>LoadBalancer</code> is a service type indicating that the application should be externally accessible using a provided load balancer. By default, this works like the <code>NodePort</code> but on specific cloud providers you'll also get an allocated external IP address, on which a wanted port is listening and end up on one of the running Pods. I'm running this on my own cluster, not one hosted by a cloud provider, so I won't create a <code>LoadBalancer</code> service. If you'd like to, [https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#loadbalancer this page] explains how they work.

* Not a service type, but if your service uses HTTP, you can use Ingress instead of Service to make your service externally accessible. More on that later.
