<p>I have RabbitMQ service running in an AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) cluster as type LoadBalancer. While I am able to use the pod and service IP by providing <code>http://&lt;IP address&gt;:&lt;port number&gt;/</code> to access RabbitMQ management page on VMs peered to the cluster's VNET, I am not able to access the page using <code>http://&lt;servicename&gt;.&lt;namespace&gt;.svc.cluster.local</code> URL with or without the ports appended. What could be done for this to work?</p>

<p>I discovered that the svc.cluster.local URLs resolve to the cluster IP and not external IP of the Load Balancer service. I figured this out after running a <code>nslookup &lt;URL&gt;</code> from one of the pods in the namespace. I am now evaluating the possibility of setting a static IP for the external IP or use the Azure application gateway.</p>
