Get port mapping in kubernetes cluster

A few days ago I was asked for a way to get external port of the service hosted under kubernetes. Internal listening port inside the container is mapped to outside world.

How to get kubernetes ports mappings.

1) install kubectl tool

2) get kubeconfig file for specific kubernetes cluster

3) use specific config as default one

cp kubeconfig ~/.kube/config

As alternative, we can specify the config via arg. --kubeconfig

4) be sure it’s used now

kubectl config view

5) list namespaces

kubectl get namespace

6) list services with port mappings in the namespace

kubectl get services -n some-namespace
