Specify Service Ports

Workloads can be exposed inside a Kubernetes cluster using a Service. A service acts as as a stable way of addressing and load balancing between Pods. The service feature in Humanitec allows to define how a service for the Workload is configured.
To specify the service port configuration:
UI
Start on the Workload Details Page and navigate to the service ports section. If you haven't created a Workload yet, please start here.
Click the Add (service port) button. This will open a configuration dialog box.
Type in a port name. The name must be a valid Humanitec ID.
Set a service port. This is the port exposed by the service. Must be in range 1 - 65535.
Define a container port (optional). This is the port a container in the Pod is listening on. Traffic will be mapped from service_port to container_port. If not specified, no mapping will occur. Must be in range 1 - 65535.
Choose a protocol. Must be one of TCP, UDP or SCTP.
Click on Save changes.
How to add a service port to your Workload
