Hello @patilsuraj100,

Thanks for your feedback, yes there’s a new service type ExternalName added, I will forward this information to the content creation team.

Type values and their behaviors are:

  • ClusterIP : Exposes the Service on a cluster-internal IP. Choosing this value makes the Service only reachable from within the cluster. This is the default that is used if you don’t explicitly specify a type for a Service.
  • NodePort : Exposes the Service on each Node’s IP at a static port (the NodePort ). To make the node port available, Kubernetes sets up a cluster IP address, the same as if you had requested a Service of type: ClusterIP .
  • LoadBalancer : Exposes the Service externally using a cloud provider’s load balancer.
  • ExternalName : Maps the Service to the contents of the externalName field (e.g. foo.bar.example.com ), by returning a CNAME record with its value. No proxying of any kind is set up.

Happy learning,
Trung.
