title: How to access API from Postman with containerized app deployed in Azure Kubernetes Service
body: <p>I have created a sample API application with Node and Express to be containerized and deployed into Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS). However, I was unable to access the API endpoint through the external API generated from the service.yml that was deployed.</p>
