+To simplify the network configuration for application workloads, Kubernetes uses *Services* to logically group a set of pods together and provide network connectivity. You can specify a Kubernetes *ServiceType* to specify what kind of Service you want, for example if you want to expose a Service onto an external IP address that's outside of your cluster.
