Kubernetes与MongoDb

Question

I followed the https://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/running-mongodb-as-a-microservice-with-docker-and-kubernetes and tried to run a single mongodb instance with a LoadBalancer Service and Replication Controller on a Google Cloud account.

Following is the yaml file:

---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: mongo-svc-a
  labels:
    name: mongo-svc-a
spec:
  type: LoadBalancer
  ports:
  - port: 27017
    targetPort: 27017
    protocol: TCP
    name: mongo-svc-a
  selector:
    name: mongo-node1
    instance: rod
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: ReplicationController
metadata:
  name: mongo-rc1
  labels:
    name: mongo-rc
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    name: mongo-node1
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        name: mongo-node1
        instance: rod
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: mongo-node1
        image: mongo
        ports:
        - containerPort: 27017
        volumeMounts:
        - name: mongo-persistent-storage1
          mountPath: /data/db
      volumes:
      - name: mongo-persistent-storage1
        gcePersistentDisk:
          pdName: mongodb-disk1-in-cluster1
          fsType: ext4

Following are the details of the Service, Replication Controller and Pods that were created. All seems to be fine.

$ kubectl describe service mongo-svc-a

But when i try to remote connect, mongo --hostname <Extenal_IP_of_the_service> to the newly created monogdb instance, i am unable to connect. I believe the configuration seems alright. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Tried a different approach and nailed it.

Followed the following tutorial: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/stateful-application/run-stateful-application/

Exposed the headless service:

kubectl expose service your_service_name --port=27017 --target-port=27017 --name=mongo-lb-service --type=LoadBalancer
