About External Name¶
An ExternalName Service is a special case of Service that does not have selectors and uses DNS names instead, e.g.
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: my-database-svc
namespace: prod
spec:
type: ExternalName
externalName: my.database.example.com
When looking up the service my-database-svc.prod.svc.cluster.local, the cluster DNS Service returns a CNAME record for my.database.example.com.
