How to find out the external IP address of a Managed Service for Kubernetes node

Case descriptionCase description

You need to find out the external IP address of the node running the pod.

SolutionSolution

You can get the node's IP address by sending the following request to the metadata service:

curl -H Metadata-Flavor:Google 169.254.169.254/computeMetadata/v1/instance/?recursive=true

For more information about this method of getting metadata, see this guide in the Compute Cloud section.

If your Managed Service for Kubernetes node has internet access, you can also send a request to a third-party resource that returns the external IP address, such as the following:

curl http://ifconfig.co
