[FIXED] Service Discovery within Kubernetes

Issue

When deploying a set of SpringBoot microservice applications in a Kubernetes cluster, should I include any kind of service discovery client libraries in my SpringBoot application to leverage kubernetes-native-service-discovery? If not, how a caller service calls another microservice in the same cluster?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

A service in kubernetes can be invoked as mentioned below for example an http service. An service has to be created and associated with pod. Please refer kubernetes services documentation for various services.

http://<service-name>:<port>

No other changes are required from application end. Please refer kubernetes official documentation for resolution details
