In my posting http://dietrichschroff.blogspot.com/2020/11/kubernetes-with-microk8s-first-steps-to.html i described how to expose a NGINX on a kubernetes cluster, so that i was able open the NGINX page with a browser which was not located on one of the kubernetes nodes.
After reading around here the fundamentals, why this worked and what alternatives can be used.
The command
kubectl expose deployment web --type=NodePort --port=80
can be used with the following types:
https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#publishing-services-service-types
So exposing to a clusterip is only exposing your service internally. If you want to access this from the outside, the follow this tutorial: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/port-forward-access-application-cluster/ but this is only a temporary solution.
Exposing to external without any additional component: Just use nodeport (e.g. follog my posting: http://dietrichschroff.blogspot.com/2020/11/kubernetes-with-microk8s-first-steps-to.html )
Loadbalancer uses a loadbalancer from Azure or AWS or ... (take a look here: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/stateless-application/expose-external-ip-address/ )
ExternalName adds a DNS-name to the loadbalancer IP of type Loadbalancer.
