  <p>As per docker networking model, docker containers run in an isolated network namespace. </p>
  
  <p>As per kubernetes networking model, inter service communication can be achieved in various ways:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Container-to-Container networking</li>
  <li>Pod-to-Pod networking</li>
  <li>Pod-to-Service networking</li>
  </ul>
</blockquote>

<p>Only in the case of container-to-container networking, microservices/applications can be resolved using localhost.</p>

<p>Assuming in this case, no two containers are running in the same Pod, it is pod to pod networking/ pod-to-service networking.</p>

<p>In this case, make use of kubernetes service discovery feature by setting eureka-server zone aware url to kubernetes service <code>ex: http://eureka-server:8080</code> </p>

<p>Here is the sample for your reference:</p>

<p><strong>Note</strong>: This is one of the ways of achieving it, Service Registration /Service Discovery is out of the box feature of kubernetes, hence usage of eureka server is optional and it is completely depends on the tech stack and requirement.</p>
