I have created stateful service which is backed by a postgres deployment with k8s. Setup is 3 public subnet|AZ and 3 private subnet|AZ. postgres deployment is in place to create 1 replica and Service with clusterIP: none But now every time I delete the service and create again IP is changing and …

Do you want load-balancing or direct-to-pod connections? If you want LB, just create a Service and don’t delete it. If you want direct-to-pod connections, create a headless Service and let your clients resolve that DNS name.

will the ip of service change if restarted by k8s? i m trying to avoid scenario where java client dont follow dns ttl if ip os service keeps on changing.

You can also create a service specifically targeting that instance. Each pod in a StatefulSet has a label that can be used in a selector to specifically target that instance: statefulset.kubernetes.io/pod-name. It would not have to be a headless service as its explicitly targeting that one giving it…

Thank you so much. i need the same i think. One QQ: Once I create the service what would be hostname for the service? I need the hostname for db connection properties. <service_name>.<app_name> ?

The DNS entry created is as documented. Please read the documentation in the kubernetes site, that goes way more in detail that I can go in an email, and don’t hesitate to ask if something is not clear :slight_smile:

I want to be very clear here. I think you are using “service” to mean something other than Kubernetes Service API. A Kubernetes Service is a backend selector and optional VIP. The backends it selects are Pods. When Pods get moved to different machines *(e.g. because of failure) they WILL get new…

If I do StatefulSet for postgres and headless svc on top; Can I use <service name>.<namespace>.svc.cluster.local as host name for jdbc client? I confused with DNS resolution; whether it is done for Service VIP or pod VIP.

Will the Service VIP change if service stops working and k8s restarts it? Initially I thought of using clusterIP with static IP within range and use it as JDBC host value. But I have 3 AZs; so trying to figure out if svc would ever fail, if yes will it be restarted within same AZ or another.

It’d follow the standard service naming schema:
<service name>.<namespace>.svc.cluster.local
