ClusterIP is the default Service type of Kubernetes and provides stable intra-cluster access. Kubernetes assigns a virtual IP address (cluster-scoped IP address) that can only be accessed within the cluster from the Service CIDR block of the cluster. CoreDNS maps the cluster-internal domain name to the assigned cluster IP address. The domain name format is <Service-name>.<namespace-of-the-workload>.svc.cluster.local:<port>, for example, nginx.default.svc.cluster.local:80.

If pods need to communicate with each other within a cluster, you can create a ClusterIP Service. For example, if a frontend pod in a cluster needs to access a backend database in the same cluster, you can create a ClusterIP Service.

Figure 1 shows how ClusterIP works. You can learn about the access channel, container port, and access port mapping rules of this type of Service.

Using the CCE Console

  1. Log in to the CCE console and click the cluster name to access the cluster console.
  2. In the navigation pane, choose Services & Ingresses. In the upper right corner, click Create Service.
  3. Configure intra-cluster access parameters.

    Parameter

    Description

    Service Name

    Custom name, which be can be the same as the workload name.

    Service Type

    ClusterIP

    Namespace

    Namespace that a workload belongs to.

    Selector

    The Service will be associated with the workload pods based on the label and direct traffic to the pods with this label.

    You can add a key and value for the pod label and click Confirm.

    You can also click Reference Workload Label to use the label of an existing workload. In the dialog box displayed, select a workload and click OK.

    Protocol Version

    Select the IP address of different versions based on service requirements. This function is available only in clusters of v1.15 or later with IPv6 enabled (set during cluster creation).

    Port

    • Protocol: the protocol supported by the Service.
    • Container Port: the listening port of the service containers. The port ranges from 1 to 65535. You need to determine the port based on the container image. For example, the default port of Nginx is 80, and the default port of MySQL is 3306.
    • Service Port: the port used to access the ClusterIP Service. You can customize the port as required. The port ranges from 1 to 65535.

  4. Click OK. After creating the Service, access services using <ClusterIP>:<service-port > in the cluster.

Using kubectl

You can configure Service access using kubectl. This section uses an Nginx workload as an example to describe how to implement intra-cluster access using kubectl.

  1. Use kubectl to access the cluster. For details, see Accessing a Cluster Using kubectl.
  2. Create and edit the nginx-deployment.yaml file to configure the sample workload. For details, see Creating a Deployment. nginx-deployment.yaml is an example file name. You can rename it as needed.

    vi nginx-deployment.yaml

    File content:

    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    metadata:
    name: nginx
    spec:
    replicas: 1
    selector:
    matchLabels:
    app: nginx
    template:
    metadata:
    labels:
    app: nginx
    spec:
    containers:
    - image: nginx:latest
    name: nginx
    imagePullSecrets:
    - name: default-secret

  3. Create and edit the nginx-clusterip-svc.yaml file to configure Service parameters. nginx-clusterip-svc.yaml is an example file name. You can rename it as needed.

    vi nginx-clusterip-svc.yaml

    File content:

    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Service
    metadata:
    labels:
    app: nginx
    name: nginx-clusterip
    spec:
    ports:
    - name: service0
    port: 8080 # Port for accessing a Service
    protocol: TCP # Protocol used for accessing a Service. The value can be TCP or UDP.
    targetPort: 80 # Port used by a Service to access the target container. This port is closely related to the applications running in a container. In this example, the Nginx image uses port 80 by default.
    selector: # Label selector. A Service selects a pod based on the label and forwards the requests for accessing the Service to the pod. In this example, select the pod with the app:nginx label.
    app: nginx
    type: ClusterIP # Type of a Service. ClusterIP indicates that a Service is only reachable from within the cluster.

  4. Create a workload.

    kubectl create -f nginx-deployment.yaml

    If information similar to the following is displayed, the workload has been created:

    deployment/nginx created

    Check the created workload.

    kubectl get pod

    If information similar to the following is displayed, the workload is running:

    NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
    nginx-2601814895-znhbr 1/1 Running 0 15s

  5. Create a Service.

    kubectl create -f nginx-clusterip-svc.yaml

    If information similar to the following is displayed, the Service is being created:

    service/nginx-clusterip created

    Check the created Service.

    kubectl get svc

    If information similar to the following is displayed, the Service has been created, and a cluster-internal IP address has been assigned to the Service.

    NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
    kubernetes ClusterIP 10.247.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 4d6h
    nginx-clusterip ClusterIP 10.247.74.52 <none> 8080/TCP 14m

  6. Access the Service from a container or node in the cluster.

    1. Create a pod and access its container.
      kubectl run -i --tty --image nginx:alpine test --rm /bin/sh
    2. Run the curl command to access the Service.
      • Access through IP:Port:
        curl 10.247.74.52:8080
      • Access using Domain name:Port (not supported on nodes):
        curl nginx-clusterip.default.svc.cluster.local:8080

        nginx-clusterip is the Service name, default is the namespace where the Service is located, and svc.cluster.local is the DNS domain for the ClusterIP Service.

        You can simplify the domain name based on your requirements. For example, if the Service and the accessing pod are in the same namespace, you can use nginx-clusterip:8080 to access it. If they are in different namespaces, you can use nginx-clusterip.default:8080 to access it.

      If the access is successful, the following information will be displayed:
