What is a Service in Kubernetes?

Entry Kubernetes
Quick Answer A Service is a stable network endpoint that sits in front of a set of Pods. Since Pod IPs change as Pods are created and destroyed, Services provide a fixed IP and DNS name that clients connect to. Kubernetes routes traffic from the Service to healthy Pods behind it, handling load balancing automatically.

Answer

A Service exposes Pods using stable networking and provides a ClusterIP with load balancing.
