Step 3: In the dashboard go to Dashboard > Pods > Click on Add icon (+).

Step 4: Write the follwoing configuration to create a NGINX pod in the space provided.

apiVersion: v1 
kind: Pod 
metadata: 
  name: nginx-pod 
  labels: 
    app: nginx 
spec: 
  containers: 
  - name: nginx 
    image: nginx:latest 
    ports: 
    - containerPort: 80

Click on Upload button

Step 2: Verify the pods

kubectl get pods

Step 2: Verify the services

kubectl get services

Step 2: Expose the port 80 for nginx pod

microk8s kubectl expose pod nginx-pod --type=NodePort --port=80 --name=nginx-service

Repeat the step 2

Step 3: Now verify the namespace (using kubectl get all -A) and look for service/nginx-service and note the port (generated and assigned randomly)

default              service/nginx-service            NodePort       10.152.183.251   <none>        80:32246/TCP                  21m

Open the browser and open the port -
