kubernetes LoadBalancer service - amazon-web-services

Question

Trying to teach myself on how to use Kubernetes, and having some issues.
I was able to set up a cluster, deploy the nginx image and then access nginx using a service of type NodePort (once I added the port to the security group inbound rules of the node).
My next step was to try to use a service of type LoadBalancer to try to access nginx.
I set up a new cluster and deployed the nginx image.
kubectl \
create deployment my-nginx-deployment \
--image=nginx
I then set up the service for the LoadBalancer
kubectl expose deployment my-nginx-deployment --type=LoadBalancer --port=80 --target-port=8080 --name=nginxpubic
Once it was done setting up, I tried to access nginx using the LoadBalancer Ingress (Which I found from describing the LoadBalancer service). I received a This page isn’t working error.
Not really sure where I went wrong.
results of kubectl get svc
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
kubernetes ClusterIP 100.64.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 7h
nginxpubic LoadBalancer 100.71.37.139 a5396ba70d45d11e88f290658e70719d-1485253166.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com 80:31402/TCP 7h

Answer 1

From the nginx dockerhub page , I see that the container is using port 80.
https://hub.docker.com/_/nginx/
It should be like this:
kubectl expose deployment my-nginx-deployment --type=LoadBalancer --port=80 --target-port=80 --name=nginxpubic
Also,
make sure the service type loadbalancer is available in your environement.
