<p>My service description:</p>

<pre><code>kubernetes describe service app-checklot --namespace=app-test-gl

Name:              app-checklot
Namespace:         app-test-gl
Labels:            app=app-checklot
                   chart=app-checklot-0.1.0

Selector:          app=app-checklot,release=chkl
Type:              ClusterIP
IP:                10.99.252.76
Port:              https  11080/TCP
TargetPort:        11080/TCP
Endpoints:         85.101.213.102:11080,85.101.213.103:11080
Session Affinity:  None

</code></pre>

<p>I am able to access the pods separately using the individual ip's:</p>

<pre><code>http://85.101.213.102:11080/service
http://85.101.213.103:11080/service
</code></pre>

<p>Also the service using the IP (this needs to be configured from another node by means of the url):</p>

<pre><code>http://10.99.252.76:11080/service
</code></pre>

<p>What I would want is to access the service (app-checklot) using the service name in the url - so that I needn't update the url always . Is this possible? If so, how?</p>

<p>From <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#dns" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Documentation</a>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>For example, if you have a <code>Service</code> called "<strong>my-service</strong>" in a Kubernetes
  <code>Namespace</code> called "<strong>my-ns</strong>", a DNS record for "<strong>my-service.my-ns</strong>" is
  created. <code>Pods</code> which exist in the "<strong>my-ns</strong>" Namespace should be able to
  find it by simply doing a name lookup for "<strong>my-service</strong>". <code>Pods</code> which
  exist in other <code>Namespaces</code> must qualify the name as "<strong>my-service.my-ns</strong>".
  The result of these name lookups is the cluster IP.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Another service, deployed to the <strong>same namespace</strong>, would be able to call <code>http://app-checklot/service</code>.</p>
