title: browsing Istio/k8s services from internet
body: <p>I have started to read Istio-in-action (by Manning) and Mastering-service-mesh (by Packt) and there are some examples where I cannot 'see' the right output.
  I work on my laptop with Ubuntu 20.04 and I use [kind] for my local k8s cluster where I can  create 3 or more worker-nodes.</p>
  <p>When I deploy some Istio resources (e.g. virtual service) I would like to browse the service-mesh from my Ubuntu browser or from a different client (either a different laptop or cell phone) but it misses something in my 'infrastructure'- is it the external load balancer or some local Ubuntu configuration? Is it mandatory to work with a public cloud provider - GCP/AWS/Azure ; if Yes, which one is the most simple? I have tried with <code>kubectl port-forward</code> but without success.</p>
  <p>Other resources are ok (e.g. istioctl dashboard kiali/jaeger/prometheus) even without an ExternalIP.</p>
  <p>Could you help me to find a blog or a tutorial/hint/advice about the necessary elements for browsing the k8s/Istio services from the internet?</p>
  <p>Thank you in advance!</p>
