Access service on kuberntes using hostname instead of ip Address

Question

I am using istio ingress gateway for one of my services, which has to be exposed to http requests. I have configured gateway(myservice-gatewa) and virtual service(myservice-endpoints). I am able to access service using http://{ingress_ip}:{ingress_port}/{path}. But I want to access service using host name instead of any ip address. how do I do it? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

If I understand your question correctly, You want to access your service from within your cluster via host name and not via IP ( Assuming service is of type NodePort). If yes have you considered looking up the Kubernetes documentation on DNS for Services and Pods?
