Hi,
How do I call services hosted in Droplet from Kubernetes Pod and vice versa using hostname/DNS?
Thanks

Hi there,
I believe that the most straightforward way to do that is to create a service with type LoadBalancer and use the newly created Load Balancer to access your services:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/kubernetes/how-to/add-load-balancers/
An alternative option, which might be worth going for only if you don’t want your Kubernetes service to be publicly accessible is to follow the steps from this documentation here:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/tutorials/internal-lb/
In that tutorial, you learn how to use a NodePort service and ExternalDNS to make services on a DOKS cluster accessible for applications on Droplets.
Hope that this helps.
Best,
Bobby
