<p>In this <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/debug-service/#does-the-service-work-by-ip" rel="nofollow noreferrer">doc</a> they use <code>u@node$</code> to define that the command is done from a node in a cluster. But how do you get to the node from kubectl?</p>

<p>It is well described how to get to a pod <code>u@pod$</code></p>

<p>The apiserver can be used as a HTTP proxy (as described <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/access-cluster#accessing-services-running-on-the-cluster" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>) to hit endpoints on Nodes, but I assume you need an SSH session which won't help.</p>

<p>On GKE you can SSH into your nodes using <code>gcloud</code> as follows:</p>

<ul>
<li><code>gcloud compute instances list</code></li>
<li><code>gcloud compute ssh &lt;nodeName&gt;</code></li>
</ul>
