< p > If you have multiple Kubernetes contexts, you must set the correct context in which you want to create your application resources. Within a Kubernetes cluster, you can access the application by its internal IP address. However, if you want to make your application accessible from an outside network, you must expose the pod containing your application as a Kubernetes service.
To access the service running on your Kubernetes cluster, you can use one of the following options:< / p >
