Answer
It uses DNS-based discovery and kube-proxy load balancing.
Quick Answer
Kubernetes runs CoreDNS as the cluster DNS server. Every Service gets a DNS entry: servicename.namespace.svc.cluster.local. When a Pod resolves a Service name, CoreDNS returns the Service's ClusterIP. kube-proxy then routes traffic from the ClusterIP to a healthy Pod. No hardcoded IPs needed — just use the service name.
