Expose services using **type=LoadBalancer** or an **Ingress** controller.

> Insert screenshot of **Service → type=LoadBalancer** and **Ingress** here

## Service (LoadBalancer)

```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: web
spec:
  type: LoadBalancer
  ports:
  - port: 80
    targetPort: 8080
  selector:
    app: web
```

* Allocates an **external IP** on the LB
* Health checks map to backend pod endpoints

## Ingress (HTTP/S)

* Use a controller (e.g., Nginx/HA proxy class)
* TLS via secrets or cert manager
* Supports **host/path** routing, canaries via annotations
