Services

Create a Kubernetes Service to give your application's pods a stable address and port inside the cluster. Other applications can use that address, and an ingress can use the service to send public web traffic to your app.

Create a service

1. Open Kubernetes / Services.
2. Select a namespace.
3. Click Create service.
4. Choose the deployment you want to expose.
5. Provide the service details.

Console field	Description
Service name	Kubernetes service name in the namespace
Service port	The port clients use to reach the service
Target port	The port number or port name your application listens on
Backend response timeout	How long ingress requests can wait for the app to respond

The console creates a ClusterIP service and uses the deployment's pod labels to choose which pods receive traffic.

Supported service settings

Area	Supported	Not supported
Service type	ClusterIP	NodePort
Public exposure model	Ingress backed by a service	externalIPs

Backend response timeout

When a request reaches your service through an ingress, this timeout controls how long it waits for the application to respond. Set Backend response timeout in the console, or add this annotation to the Service manifest:

metadata:
  annotations:
    traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/service.serverstransport: ingress-backend-response-timeout-300s@file

Supported values are ingress-backend-response-timeout-60s@file, ingress-backend-response-timeout-120s@file, ingress-backend-response-timeout-300s@file, and ingress-backend-response-timeout-600s@file. If omitted, RemoteGPU uses 60 seconds. Add the annotation to the Service, not the Ingress.
