Headless Services

Services allow internal and external pod access, but not the following scenarios:

Accessing all pods at the same time
Pods in a Service accessing each other

This is where headless Service come into service. A headless Service does not create a cluster IP address, and the DNS records of all pods are returned during query. In this way, the IP addresses of all pods can be queried. StatefulSets use headless Services to support mutual access between pods.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service       # Object type (Service)
metadata:
  name: nginx-headless
  labels:
    app: nginx
spec:
  ports:
    - name: nginx      #     - name: nginx     # Name of the port for communication between pods
      port: 80        # Port number for communication between pods
  selector:
    app: nginx        # Select the pod whose label is app:nginx.
  clusterIP: None     # Set this parameter to None, indicating that a headless Service is to be created.

Run the following command to create a headless Service:

# kubectl create -f headless.yaml 
service/nginx-headless created

After the Service is created, you can query the Service.

# kubectl get svc
NAME             TYPE        CLUSTER-IP   EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)   AGE
nginx-headless   ClusterIP   None         <none>        80/TCP    5s

Create a pod to query the DNS. You can view the records of all pods. In this way, all pods can be accessed.

$ kubectl run -i --tty --image tutum/dnsutils dnsutils --restart=Never --rm /bin/sh
