The webapp-service in your Kubernetes cluster has more than one endpoint because it is likely using a Kubernetes deployment with multiple replicas. Each replica of the deployment is assigned a unique IP address and port combination, resulting in multiple endpoints for the service.
Having multiple endpoints allows the service to distribute incoming traffic across all the replicas, enabling load balancing and high availability. Requests to the service can be routed to any of the available endpoints, which helps distribute the workload evenly and ensures that the service remains accessible even if some replicas are unavailable.
In your specific case, the webapp-service has four endpoints: 10.42.0.10:8080, 10.42.0.11:8080, 10.42.0.12:8080, and one more that is not listed in the output you provided. These endpoints represent the IP addresses and ports of the replicas of the webapp-service deployment.
Having multiple endpoints is a normal behavior for services that use Kubernetes deployments with multiple replicas. It is part of the Kubernetes design to provide scalability and fault tolerance for applications running in the cluster.
