kubernetes service external ip pending

Question

I am trying to deploy nginx on kubernetes, kubernetes version is v1.5.2, I have deployed nginx with 3 replica, YAML file is below,

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: deployment-example
spec:
  replicas: 3
  revisionHistoryLimit: 2
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: nginx
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: nginx
        image: nginx:1.10
        ports:
        - containerPort: 80

and now I want to expose its port 80 on port 30062 of node, for that I created a service below,

kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: nginx-ils-service
spec:
  ports:
    - name: http
      port: 80
      nodePort: 30062
  selector:
    app: nginx
  type: LoadBalancer

this service is working good as it should be, but it is showing as pending not only on kubernetes dashboard also on terminal.

Are you deploying this cluster on Minikube?

Yess @Kalgi, i'm using minikube.

Answer 1

There is no LoadBalancer when you use Minikube. If you're trying out the service type you need to deploy your application on a cloud platform such as AWS.

These cloud platforms have an inbuild LoadBalancer and you can only use the service type: LoadBalancer in such cases.

Try replacing your service type to NodePort and let me know if it works.
