Services view#
Kubernetes Services are a fundamental building block for network connectivity in a cluster. They enable communication and load balancing to applications by providing a consistent endpoint for clients. Services can be used to expose applications within the cluster, externally, or across namespaces. See Kubernetes Documentation: Service for details.
The Services table lists the cluster Services. You can click the list items and open the details panel with comprehensive information and various options. The Namespace drop-down list filters the cluster objects by namespaces. You can also search for a specific item using the Search Services input field.
You can resize and reorder the table columns. Drag the column border in the table header to change the width. To change the column position, drag its header left or right. Also, you can sort objects in ascending or descending order by clicking the header of a column and configure the column visibility. By default, the table consists of the following columns:
