Access Kubernetes service from vm in same GCE project
<p>The pods inside a Google Container Engine cluster can be reached directly from any vm in the same GCE project. However the service's internal ip is not reachable, I guess because it's a virtual ip and not meant to be accessible externally.</p>

<p>What's the best way to make the service accessible without using type loadbalancer and exposing the service publicly? Do I need to use the ingress object and an nginx / haproxy ingress controller? Or is there a simpler way to do this?</p>
