I wanted to do some digging about how services work within the nodes , that is how packets are forwarded from the outside , evil and relentless world to the container through bridges etc. So step 1 , find what port has the service bound to: port is , apparently , now let’s look into inside the node. 30235 iptables Notice that is doing a to another , in this case -j (jump) chain/extension KUBE-SVC-URRHIARQWDHNXJTW lets look into that now: Cool so lets dig on that chain then “KUBE-SEP-RYFM2HXHC6IPPMAX”: We see it’s forwarding traffic to , so the only bit left would be to check if we actually have a container with address: 172.17.0.3 docker Magical!
