Kubernetes with a fixed hostname for pods

Question

we have a need for an external clients to connect to the POD via static hostname running on Kubernetes containers/sessions. The issue is that whenever we restart a session we get a new hostname generated for that container. Is there a way we can get a fixed hostname for the pods, such that it doesn't change every time we restart??

$ kubectl get pods
NAME                                                              READY   STATUS             RESTARTS   AGE

If we can get a static name for the pods whenever the session is restarted that would be awesome, such that we can give one single static IP/hostname to the clienst?

Answer 1

consider running a statefulset with one replica. host name remains same for statefulset
