In this lesson, we will learn to create Services through declarative syntax.

We can accomplish a similar result as the one using kubectl expose through the svc/go-demo-2-svc.yml specification.

spec:
  type: NodePort
  ports:
  - port: 28017
    nodePort: 30001
    protocol: TCP
  selector:
    type: backend
    service: go-demo-2
