AWS EKS Pod Networking Issues: how to to Reach Services with ClusterIP after Ingress Configuration
I've encountered a strange issue with I need help solving I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer. I'm following best practices but I'm working with an scenario with my AWS EKS cluster where pods want to reach services configured with ClusterIP after setting up an Ingress resource. I have followed the documentation for the NGINX Ingress Controller, but it seems like internal communication is disrupted. My ingress.yml looks like this: ```yaml apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 kind: Ingress metadata: name: my-app-ingress annotations: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$1 spec: rules: - host: myapp.example.com http: paths: - path: /?(.*) pathType: Prefix backend: service: name: my-app-service port: number: 80 ``` The service definition is as follows: ```yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: Service metadata: name: my-app-service spec: type: ClusterIP ports: - port: 80 targetPort: 8080 selector: app: my-app ``` After deploying this configuration, I am unable to access the service internally from other pods using the service name (e.g., `curl my-app-service:80` returns a timeout). The Ingress seems to be working fine for external traffic, but internal communication breaks down. I have checked the security groups and network access control lists associated with the EKS cluster, ensuring that the necessary ports are open. Additionally, I verified that the NGINX Ingress Controller is running and logging requests correctly, but there are no logs indicating requests being sent to the backend service from the Ingress. I tried changing the service type to NodePort temporarily, and it did work, which leads me to believe that the scenario lies with the ClusterIP configuration. Has anyone experienced similar issues or can offer insight into what could be misconfigured? Any troubleshooting steps or best practices would be greatly appreciated! I'm working on a web app that needs to handle this. This is for a desktop app running on Debian. Thanks in advance! I'm working on a mobile app that needs to handle this. This is my first time working with Yaml 3.11. This is my first time working with Yaml latest. What am I doing wrong?
