9.6.4.4. Create a service with virtctl

Prerequisites

• You installed the virtctl command-line tool.
• You configured the cluster network to support the service.
• The environment where you installed virtctl has the cluster permissions required to access the VM. For example, you ran oc login or you set the KUBECONFIG environment variable.

Procedure

• Create a service by running the following command:

  $ virtctl expose vm <vm_name> --name <service_name> --type <service_type> --port <port>

  where:

  <vm_name>

  Specifies the name of the VM you are exposing.

  <service_name>

  Specifies a user-defined name for the service you are creating.

  <service_type>

  Specifies one of ClusterIP, NodePort, or LoadBalancer.

  <port>

  Specifies the network port on the VM that the service will expose.

  Example:

  $ virtctl expose vm example-vm --name example-service --type NodePort --port 22

Verification

• Verify the service by running the following command:

  $ oc get service
