Kubernetes Service Generator
Generate a Kubernetes Service manifest - ClusterIP, NodePort, or LoadBalancer - with port mapping and selector.
Choose a Service type and configure ports and the pod selector - this tool generates a valid Service manifest.
The Service's selector must match the labels on your target Pods - see the Kubernetes Labels Generator and Selector Builder if you need help with that matching.
What Is a Kubernetes Service?
A Service provides a stable network endpoint (a fixed IP and DNS name) for a group of Pods, selected by label - since Pods are ephemeral and get new IPs when replaced, a Service is how other things in (or outside) the cluster reliably reach them.
Why Use This Tool?
Choosing correctly between ClusterIP (internal only), NodePort (exposed on each node's IP), and LoadBalancer (provisions a cloud load balancer) matters for how your Service is actually reachable - this tool generates the right structure for whichever type you choose.
How to Use It
- Choose a Service type: ClusterIP, NodePort, or LoadBalancer.
- Enter the port and target port (the port your container actually listens on).
- Enter the selector labels that match your target Pods.
- Copy the generated YAML.
Common Errors
The most common reason a Service "doesn't work" is a selector that doesn't actually match any Pod's labels - double-check the selector here matches the labels on the Deployment/Pod you intend to expose.
