How to get a kubernetes pod to access an oracle database?
This is probably too late, but you may want to try to add:
- a k8s service to let the pod know there is a DB to call
- a k8s endpoint to map the external IP address to the service
Rationale: by default K8s searches for local services. This creates a local service with a mapping to an external service's URI. More info: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/gcp/kubernetes-best-practices-mapping-external-services
