Hi I try to get access to th spring-boot tutorial app through fabric8
after:

service "my-service" exposed
C:\Users\gregor>kubectl get services my-service

then asking the browser: for
http://172.17.0.9:8080
or
http://100.0.0.200:8080
the connection timed out
I obviously missed something, and the docs dont give me any more hints. Any ideas whats wrong,please?
Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

Both addresses (172.* and 10.*) you are trying to access are private IPs that won’t be directly addressable over the public internet.
Your service listed the external IP as pending.
EXTERNAL-IP
<pending>
Once that value is filled in by the cloud provider, that value is the public endpoint you should use as the address in your browser. Don't forget to add any necessary port 8080
