Ashok Kumar:
Can you try to do wget with busybox

kubectl run busybox --image busybox sleep 3600

kubectl exec -it busybox sh

wget -qO- http://&lt;service_name&gt;:&lt;port&gt;

Ashok Kumar:
If problem exists check your coredns pod is perfectly running on kube-system namespace

Lokesh Sinha:
Sorry guys it was my problem, I exposed a port that was not used by the application in the pod. Once I exposed the correct port, it worked fine.
