Accessing External REST api From Wthin Kubernetes Cluster
A service in kubernetes is (mostly) used for internal communication. If you want to access an external resource by domain/ip you can just do so. If you have an IP address and you would like to have some sort of domain connected to it, you could you am service with the external name field set to the up address (we use that for database purposes). An endpoint is automatically created for you when you create an service so you don’t nees to bother with that
