Can't use two load balancers for the same Kubernetes pool?

Posted on September 3, 2019

I set up my Kubernetes. At first, it was one load balancer serving my static content and everything was working fine. Now, I’ve tried adding a second load balancer to serve my API but it doesn’t seem to work. In the control panel, it shows it’s not working Screenshot

And when I run kubectl get all it appears to all be working fine:

Thank you for the help. It turns out I was binding to 127.0.0.1:8000 instead of 0.0.0.0:8000. The problem has nothing to do with Kubernetes, DigitalOcean, or LoadBalancers. This question can be deleted as I can’t imagine it will be relevant to anyone else.
