Kubernetes - Can't connect to a service IP from the service's pod
for what you want to do you should be using a Headless Servicehttp://kubernetes.io/v1.0/docs/user-guide/services.html#headless-services
this means setting
clusterIP: None
in your Service
and that means there won't be an IP associated with the service but it will return all IPs of the Pods selected by the selector
Update: The bug is fixed in v1.2.4
You can try container hook.
containers: - name: kafka image: Kafka lifecycle: postStart: exec: command: - "some.sh" #some shell scripts to get this pod's IP and notify the other Kafka members that "add me into your cluster" preStop: exec: command: - "some.sh" #some shell scripts to get other Kafka pods' IP and notify the other Kafka members that "delete me from your cluster"I have got a similar problems on running 3 mongodb pods as a cluster but the pods cannot access themselves through their serivces' IP.
In addition, has the bug been fixed?
