title: Kubernetes Service not accessible on AWS-EKS
body: <p>I created a simple <strong>EKS</strong> cluster on aws as described in <a href="https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws/tree/master/examples/eks-getting-started" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws/tree/master/examples/eks-getting-started</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I this cluster I created an <strong>nginx deployment</strong> and a <strong>service</strong> of type <strong>Loadbalancer</strong> as described below.
  The configuration works locally on minikube.</p>
  
  <p>On AWS I can see that pod and service are started, the service has an external ip, I can access the pod with kubectl port-forward and I can ping the LoadBalancer.</p>
  
  <p>However I cannot access the Loadbalancer via the browser via <a href="http://a53439687c6d511e8837b02b7cab13e7-935938560.eu-west-1.elb.amazonaws.com:3001" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://a53439687c6d511e8837b02b7cab13e7-935938560.eu-west-1.elb.amazonaws.com:3001</a><br>
  I'm getting a <code>This site can’t be reached</code></p>
  
  <p>Any idea where I should look into?</p>
