Hi All,

An application has front end and back end deployment .

As shown in the demo, if I create a service of type NodePort, and link it to frontend to expose it to external request

and, create a service of type ClusterIP, and link it to backend for exposure within the cluster.

Do I need to have a separate service of type ClusterIP for the Frontend for internal communication or I can use the cluster IP assigned during NodePort Service ?

Alistair Mackay:
All correct as you have stated. You can use the CLUSTER IP of a NodePort service to connect to it from inside the cluster.
