Why can't you ping a Kubernetes service?

Learnk8s runs a 4-day Advanced Kubernetes course on Oct 21, and you will get to the bottom of questions like this (spoiler: services only exist in etcd).
You will also learn the nitty-gritty details of Kubernetes networking:

- How to plan and design a cluster network.
- How do the four Kubernetes services extend each other, and what do you gain from each?
- How CoreDNS, Ingress, and kube-proxy consume the Kubernetes currency: endpoints.

This (and much more) is covered on the third day of the course.

You can find the full agenda, a breakdown of the modules and how to sign up here: https://kube.events/t/3aa0148a-d54a-471c-adbc-cc5cabb86d23
