Understanding Kubernetes Architecture Cluster
A cluster is a collection of hosts storage and networking resources that Kubernetes uses to run the various workloads that comprise your system. Note that your entire system may consist of multiple clusters. We will discuss this advanced use case of federation in detail later.

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.


so please help me to resolve this issue. Thanks ...
BEST ANSWER:
It looks like you are using a custom Kubernetes Cluster (using minikube, kubeadm or the like). In this case, there is no LoadBalancer integrated (unlike AWS or Google Cloud). With this default setup, you can only use NodePort (more info here: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#type-nodeport) or an Ingress Controller. With the Ingress Controller you can setup a domain name which maps to your pod (more information here: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress/#ingress-controllers)
