Root Cause

Service doesn't exist or has no backing pods (no matching selector).

generic

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Verify service exists and selector matches pod labels 
    kubectl get svc my-service -o yaml | grep selector && kubectl get pods -l app=my-app

    Sources: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/

  2. 88% success Check endpoints: kubectl get endpoints my-service 
    kubectl get endpoints my-service

    Sources: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#endpoints

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Create service without selector 70% fail

    Service exists but routes to nothing

  2. Use pod IP directly 80% fail

    Pod IP changes on restart, breaks connectivity
