[imouahrani]

hi, did you resolve this problem please ??

[vineeth-r15]

facing same issue

[henrikzhupani]

I faced the same issue, the solution that worked for me :

• The binding between the service and the pod was not correct. In the yaml file, the name that you are using to create the pod on Deployment, should be the same name with the Service - spec - selector app: name

example

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: test-dep
labels:
app: demo-k8s
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: demo
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: demo
spec:
containers:
- name: demo
image: test/demo:latest
ports:
- containerPort: {testPort}

---

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: demo-k8s-service
spec:
selector:
app: demo
type: LoadBalancer
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: {testPort}
targetPort: {testPort}
nodePort: {testNodePort}

This usually happens when service unable to find deployment please refer provided simple setup

your app

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: webapp
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      run: webapp
      app: webapp
  replicas: 1
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        run: webapp
        app: webapp
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: webapp
          image: webapp:latest
          imagePullPolicy: Never
          ports:
            - containerPort: 80

your service

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: webapp
spec:
  type: NodePort
  selector:
    app: webapp
  ports:
    - port: 80
      protocol: TCP
      targetPort: 80
      nodePort: 31000

[francoo98]

Services and pods are matched matching service's spec.selector.app to pod's app label.
You should make sure that service.spec.selector.app and deployment.spec.template.metadata.labels.app have the same value.

[yvonnekw]

The above suggestion works for me.

[vermabhaskar99]

I am also facing same issue. Any suggestion for this -

Deployment.yaml -

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: myapp-deployment
labels:
app: nginx
tier: front-end
spec:
replicas: 3
selector:
matchLabels:
env: production # this sould match with labels env
template:
metadata:
name: bhaskar-pod
labels:
app: my-app # pls see this and place in other place
tier: front-end
env: production # this sould match with matchlabels env
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx-container
image: nginx

Service.yaml -

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: myapp-service
spec:
selector:
app: my-app
tier: front-end
env: production
type: NodePort
ports:
- targetPort: 80
port: 80
nodePort: 30004

[henrikzhupani]

hey @vermabhaskar99 - make sure to pput on the
Deployment - spec: containers: - name: nginx-container
the same name as
Service - spec: - selector - app: my-app

they both should have the same name, and yours dont have the same name

[brian-henderson69]

I had this issue and my names were correct / matched. However, I had another entry (tier: front-end which had no proper match). Once I removed it the service worked properly. Sometimes its not what you are looking at directly that causes the issue. Hope this helps...
