<p>I have a single kubernetes service called MyServices which hold four deployments. Each deployment is running as a single pod and each pod has its own port number.</p>

<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/zSOKs.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/zSOKs.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>As mentioned all the pods are running inside one kubernetes service. </p>

<p>I am able to call the services through the external IP Address of that kubernetes service and port number. </p>

<p><strong>Example : 92.18.1.1:3011/MicroserviceA</strong> Or <strong>92.18.1.1:3012/MicroserviceB</strong></p>

<p>I am now trying to develop and orchestration layer that calls these services and get a response from them, However, I am trying to figure out a way in which I do NOT need to specify every micro-service port number, instead I can call them through their endpoint/ServiceName. Example: <strong>192.168.1.1/MicroserviceA</strong></p>

<p>How can I achieve above statement?</p>

<p>From architecture perspective, is it a good idea to deploy all microservice inside a single kubenetes service (like my current approach) or each micro-service needs it's own service</p>

<p>Below is the kubernetes deployment file ( I removed the script for micro-service C and D since they are identical to A and B):</p>

<p>There is a way to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/39260160/6309">discover all the port of Kubernetes services</a>.</p>

<p>So you could consider using <code>kubectl get svc</code>, as seen in "<a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/services/source-ip/#source-ip-for-services-with-type-nodeport" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Source IP for Services with Type=NodePort</a>"</p>

<pre><code>NODEPORT=$(kubectl get -o jsonpath="{.spec.ports[0].nodePort}" services &lt;yourService&gt;)
</code></pre>

<p>Then you need to expose those services through one entry point, typically a reverse-proxy like NGiNX.<br>
The idea is to expose said services using the default ports (80 or 443), and reverse-proxy them to the actual URL and port number.</p>
