Florence/Flora - Not my fav... seems too old lady to me. Also, it makes me think of Auntie Flo coming to visit.
Clara / Mira/ Nina- Not a huge fan on Nina... Don't know why, but I'm not. Clara is GREAT! It's just so cute, and it's not too matchy with Silvia. Mira is ok, but I think I prefer Mina.
Lila - Just too popular. I know 2 Lilas.
Josephine -I do love this name... It makes me think of Little Women.
Evelyn - Yeah, it is too popular. Have you considered Eveline? Search for the James Joyce poem, and you'll love it more.
So, from your list: 1. Clara 2. Josephine I'd also suggest: Felicity, Cecilia, Eveline, Celeste, and Emiliana (a good Italian name).
Linus - too baby blanket? Yeah, it kinda is.
Calvin - Not really a fan. If you only call him Calvin, then ok. But Cal Del is kinda awkward.
Pascal - Makes me think of math. Also doesn't do it for me due to the Pascal Del.
Lucas - Yeah, it really is uber popular right now.
Leo - So Leonardo DiCaprio got away with that... but let's face it: stars get away with naming their kids crazy things like Pilot Inspektor. The -o -o really is kinda choppy/ rhymy. I wouldn't do it...
Jay - This needs to be part of a longer name. Jay is just a nickname to me.
Xavier - Love this name, although it's quite trendy right now. It is strong and masculine, and I think it will grow up well.
Clive - This one is a gem. I've only known 1 Clive ever, but this is a great name.
So, 1. Clive 2. Xavier. I suggest: Marcus, Benjamin, Christian, Damien, Simon, Graham, Grant, Roman, Colin, Jonas, Julian, Quentin, Quincy, Nolan, Anthony...Currently exiled from the US

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
When Jim Breyer announced he was leaving the board of , Wal-Mart and in the span of a week late last month, there was plenty of speculation as to whether the world's top venture capital investor was slowing down.
As Facebook's largest institutional backer and the top name on the 2013 Midas List, Breyer told FORBES that he's returning to his passion: investing. One of seven billionaires on this year's ranking of the world's top venture investors, Breyer is among those who have cobbled together 10-figure fortunes by putting smart money behind developing technology companies.
"Pulling the trigger to invest in Facebook [was among] the best decisions of my business career," Breyer said.
Indeed, it was the best decision for the likes of Breyer and at least two other Midas List billionaires, whose fortunes are largely derived from timely investments in the Menlo Park, Calif.-based social network. Breyer, who recently announced he was stepping down as a Facebook board member, led Accel Partners' 2005 funding of $12.7 million in the Mark Zuckerberg-led company at a $98 million valuation. Today, with Facebook's market capitalization hovering near $64 billion, that investment is worth more than 650 times its original value. And Breyer, who sold 1.3 million Facebook shares last Friday for more than $38 million, continues to personally cash in on that deal.
Midas List members Peter Thiel and Yuri Milner are two other venture capitalists who can attribute the majority of their wealth to a certain golden touch with Facebook. Thiel, also a Facebook board member, was the company's first institutional investor and has sold most of his position in the social network following its May 2012 initial public offering and the expiration of share lock-up agreements in August 2012. Russian financier and Digital Sky Technologies Partner Milner led his firms $200 million bet on Zuckerberg's firm in 2009 at a $10 billion valuation. That investment is up more than six-fold as of Facebook's closing stock price on Tuesday.
Reid Hoffman, also made an investment in Facebook, but that decision is not the main reason why he's claimed the title as the world's wealthiest venture capitalist. As the founder and current chairman of , Hoffman is also the largest individual shareholder in a company that has had the best performing social networking IPO to date. His stake of nearly 17 million shares is worth more than $3 billion alone based on LinkedIn's closing share price on Tuesday. Along with investment stakes in companies like Zynga and Facebook, Hoffman has an estimated net worth of about $3.3 billion.
Two other billionaires on the Midas List this year can attribute the bulk of their fortunes to a different Silicon Valley behemoth: Google. Just as the likes of Breyer and Thiel have bolstered their pockets by investing in Facebook, Sequoia Capital's Michael Moritz and Kleiner Perkins' John Doerr are in the 10-figure club for their backing of the Mountain View, Calif.-based search giant more than a decade ago. Doerr, on the cover of the latest issue of FORBES, still remains on Google's board, though is regularly selling small amounts of his stake in the company every month.
"John always sees the future first," said Google CEO Larry Page of the Kleiner Perkins partner. "And he's tenacious about pushing everyone to move faster and be one order of magnitude more ambitious."

Plain for me. My Benchmade and Spyderco are both more than sharp enough to cut through any rope with ease. I also like the fact that anyone can sharpen a plain edge.

From what I've read ... everyone recommends a plain edge for SD. Serrations have a tendency to get snagged on your opponents clothing and other objects (cell phone, keys, chains, etc).
I haven't tested this personally ... but if my day keeps going the way its going, I may have some real world experience to share by sun down.

I have a couple of plain edge knives but most of the many knives I have are combo edge. I use my knives a lot at work in EMS therefore I think the combo edge is a better choice.
You definitely don't need to sharpen the serrations as frequently as a plain edge.
I keep a round tapered diamond knife sharpener for touching up the serrations when needed.
I also like a drop point, spear point or a modified sheeps foot blade design. Also a regular clip point is good as well.
I got away from tanto blades a while back because they just aren't very useful although the Benchmade Rift I'm currently using as a work knife has a "reverse" tanto which has more cutting edge than a standard tanto.

Plain edge, must easier to sharpen. I can cut anything with a very sharp plain edge that someone can with a serrated edge.
Better to die on your feet, than to live on your knees.
I preffer combo - it has more utility, and I have noticed (hunting) that it does a much better job of cutting through sinew and cartelidge than straight blades.
For a dedicated SD blade why do you need to have a knife that is easy to sharpen? how often are you using it to defend yourself, and how does it keep getting dull?
If you are using it as a utility blade the advantages of a combo are just obvious, yes you can cut the same things with a sharp straight edge, but why? when it is so much easier with a serrated edge?
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
i like plain edge cuz i like to sharpen my knives to a razor blade.

All helpful responses, I too have both tanto and drop point and clip and bowie and have combo and straights, just trying to get an idea of the most common.
Thanks. Keep chiiming in.
"Put on the whole armor of God..."
If its a general purpose utility knife then sure, partially serrated. Great for cutting stuff.
If it's a dedicated SD knife then the plain edge is better. Great for cutting goblins.
Oh yeah, point. Prefer a normal point to the tanto. Tanto sure looks cool but.. not much else.
Obviously knives are primarily tools, but you never know when that tool suddenly has to be used for SD. On top of this, you certainly don't want to be up the creek sans paddle already and then add that you're now using a your butter knife-equivalent EDC beater on your assailant. If you end up laying on top of your primary defensive blade or otherwise can't get to it because some guy is working very hard at pounding the sauce out of your tomato, that is not the time to find out that your tough-to-sharpen EDC blade isn't quite up to snuff or that the serrated section isn't doing anything but moving his jacket or other clothing around across his skin if that's the only place you get the blade on them.
Some people are 99%ers and some people are 1%ers with the same reality across the entire spectrum of life. If you're a 1%er who makes certain to sharpen those serrations every single time you sharpen your knife then kudos to you. If you're like the 99% of the rest of the knife-owning world, you won't and you just might get hosed for it. "Easy to sharpen" all too often translates into "Gets sharpened at all" in the real world so I find it a perfectly viable attribute to look for in a EDC or defensive blade.
I find that serrations are great for multi-fiber materials like rope, sinew as mentioned above, and seatbelts. A well-maintained plain edge can do all of the above just dandy, however, and is around ten times easier to keep sharp. If you have the patience to run your round stick on each of those little crescents in turn, you have my respect, but please don't think less of me for not having the same drive.
Tanto tips are largely useless in my experience. They look cool, penetrate well, but I don't make it a habit to stab sheet metal or other materials where the extra tip toughness would be necessary with either my EDC or defensive blades. A tanto tip is also hard to sharpen correctly so that designed extra penetration might very well be nullified by the porkchopped resharpening job you did the last time you ran the knife over a stone. Not worth the hassle, IMO.
I use a sog trident as my go to knife for utility and everything, at least in one pocket, I used the razor sharp plain part to blow thru the hot water tank box today. The serrations were snagging and the plain edge glided thru like butter. I wasn't sawing so maybe that was why they snagged.

Keywords : Quadruped Robots, Hydraulic Actuation, Waist Joint
Considerable amount of research efforts are spent on the field of legged robotics in the past 60 years. Studies in this area extend from running on one leg to humanoid robots, from four legged robots (quadruped) to multi-legged bug-inspired robots. The advantage of four legged structure is that it is more balanced compared structures with less legs. This feature makes four legged robots candidates rough terrain conditions and for dangerous tasks. Because of the high power-to-weight ratio and fast dynamic response properties, hydraulic actuation systems are suitable for difficult tasks. Towards the goal of creating a hydraulically actuated quadruped robot, this thesis presents:
- The mechanical design and experimental testing of a two degrees-of-freedom prototype leg
- The mechanical design and analysis of a rigid-chassis quadruped
- The mechanical design and analysis a quadruped chassis with a two degrees-of-freedom articulation at its waist
The prototype leg with two degrees-of-freedom at hip and knee axes is designed for preliminary experiments. Each leg on the robot has three active degrees-of-freedom. The degrees-of-freedom added at the quadruped waist aim at improving balance, velocity, and adaptation to land.

Short Term 12.(Photo by: Courtesy)
The movies you missed
By HANNAH BROWN
Now playing at the Jerusalem Cinematheque.
Maybe you didn't get to the Jerusalem Film Festival as much as you would have liked this year or maybe you didn't get to it at all. Don't despair because some of the highlights from the festival, and many other good films that came out this past year, will be showing at the Jerusalem Cinematheque throughout the month.
Short Term 12
is an American indie that was very popular with festival audiences last month. It tells the story of Grace (Brie Larson, an actress who is regularly hailed as one of the next big stars – you may remember her as Toni Collette's daughter on
The United States of Tara
), a young staffer at a residential facility for (very) troubled teens. Grace seems to have it all together – the residents and staff all look up to her – but it's clear from her home life that she is as tormented as any of her charges. She lives with Mason (John Gallagher Jr, who plays Jim on HBO's
The Newsroom
), a fellow staffer and a decent guy who loves her. It's not clear at first why it's a crisis for her when she discovers she's pregnant, but gradually, as she tries to help a new resident, Jayden (Kaitlyn Dever), her own sad story is revealed.
While this may sound like a grim story, Larson's incandescent performance and the humor and affection for the characters raise it to a level way above a movie of the week.
Short Term 12
is playing at the Jerusalem Cinematheque on August 1 at 10 p.m., August 2 at 9:30 p.m. and August 3 at 7 p.m.
Vanessa Lapa's The Decent One was awarded the Van Leer Fund Prize for Best Documentary at this year's festival, a category that was especially competitive this year. It focuses on Heinrich Himmler, the architect of Hitler's Final Solution, using recently discovered letters, photos and diaries. It will be shown on August 2 at 9:15 p.m.
Stephen Frears's
wasn't shown at this year's film festival, but the director was a guest at the festival in 2001, at the height of the second intifada.
, which was released in late 2013, was nominated for four Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actress for Judi Dench.
The film is a fact-based drama about an Irish woman who got pregnant out of wedlock, gave up her baby for adoption, and then was denied any information about him for decades. It's kind of a companion piece to
The Magdalene Sister
s, the 2002 film about young Irish women forced to labor in laundries run by the church. Steve Coogan co-stars.
is playing on August 2 at 9:15 p.m. and August 3 at 9 p.m.
There's not much middle ground on director Wes Anderson's films – people either love them or hate them. He's best known for
The Royal Tenenbaums
(2001) and
Moonrise Kingdom
(2012). His films can be a bit precious. His latest,
The Grand Budapest Hotel
, falls into that category, but his fans will enjoy it anyway. It's playing on August 2 at 5 p.m.
Siddarth, a thought-provoking movie about a father in India who sends his son to work in a factory for a month and then searches for him all across the country after he disappears is playing on August 10 at 9:15 p.m., August 11 at 9 p.m., and August 12 at 7 p.m.
The Jerusalem Cinematheque is offering a number of films to mark the centenary of World War I. My recommendation from these is
The African Queen
(1951), which is showing on August 7 at 5 p.m. It's one of the most glorious romance/adventure movies ever made. Directed by John Huston, it stars Humphrey Bogart (in his only Oscar-winning performance) as the hard-drinking captain of a small cargo boat in Africa, who picks up Rose (Katharine Hepburn), a missionary who was left stranded in the jungle when the war broke out. She persuades him to attack a German warship, and it's both very suspenseful and very funny.

Great match. Hope Chelsea will give our Noisy Neighbors a KO blow in FA Cup Semis @ Wembley on 14 April.

Good to hear that Rafa is going to leave Chelsea. If Jose Mourinho returns to Chelsea then I'll be happy as we can see the return of MU - Chelsea rivalry again.

Sad to see Arsenal so unlucky that night. They struck against woodwork 4 times(2 times during the penalty shootout. They play so well but got eliminated.
I admit United was lucky but RVP had a good finish from a tough angle.
Manchester City=> Madchester City. LOL
But at least Chelsea qualified for Europa League last 32. Not like Man City, they are completely out of European football this season. By the way I'll support t...

During the dog days of summer we decided to look at ways to beat the heat with umbrellas. Beyond the standard canvas beach-style umbrellas, companies have developed several unique options to provide relief from the sun and decorative touches.
One great source for patio umbrellas is PatioUmbrellaUSA.com, which offers a wide selection of styles and shade creation in the form of umbrellas, shade sails and other options. The lighted patio umbrella provides energy-efficient LED lighting along the ribs of the umbrella. This umbrella extends the use of your patio umbrella into the evening and has a wind vent to keep it steady in a breeze. The umbrella is available in three hardware finishes and 65 fabric options for quick delivery.
For those of you with an eye toward rainwater collection the Bahama Largo Umbrella offers a dramatic and useful way to combine shade and environmental functionality. The trumpet flower shape is eye catching and has self-contained lighting for extended evening use. Its funnel-like configuration provides a means to collect rainwater and drain it to a holding tank or storage unit like the Rainwater Pillow for use on gardens and lawns. The umbrella is equipped with a two-gear manual drive for easy opening and closing.

Well this one is better than the other colored one I have posted. Maybe I'll take that one down... Anyway, I liked this sketch from the character sheet so much I decided to color it. Been in the works for some time now, but I stopped in the middle thanx to tons of unwanted school work. But it's done now, finally. I was a little hesitant about highlighting the hair so much since it's supposed to be jet black, but I think it came out ok. I don't hate it anyway.

Creative Zen
Try another PC or another USB port
Make sure the hold/lock is not engaged
Check for firmware update on Creative's website
Get Recovery Tool from Creative
Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard.
If all else fails, check with this guy:

Track List
Album Notes
Lyricist: Nic Hessler.
Audio Mixers: Drew Fischer; Jarvis Taveniere.
Photographer: Elle Wildhagen.
With his band Catwalk, 19-year-old Nic Hessler was one of indie pop's likely lads in 2010, having released a handful of beloved singles for YAY! and Captured Tracks and getting ready for a big tour. Five years later, having lived through an illness that left him partially paralyzed and unable to play music, he's made it back to the national stage with a solo record that fulfills all the promise that many feared would never be. It's not exactly the return of Catwalk, more like how Catwalk might have sounded after a few years of refining and perfecting their sound. Soft Connections has a huge, clean sound that captures every guitar jangle, every melodic bassline, every breathy whisper, and delivers them wrapped in a shiny bow, like the gift the album is. It truly would have been a shame to have lost Hessler's songwriting, his knack for crafting a sound, and the love for all kinds of indie pop that comes through in his songs. The big sound of '90s bands like Lilac Time and Lightning Seeds, the layered brilliance of the Church, the moping bounce of the Smiths, the emotional nakedness of most of the Sarah Records bands, the sonic punch of great American bands like Velocity Girl and Pains of Being Pure at Heart -- Hessler has obviously studied them all and used them to create something very familiar, yet all his own. Mostly midtempo and melancholic, with the occasional uptempo rocker and relaxed ballad for balance, the album plays like a one-man greatest hits of indie pop through the ages, with a redone version of Catwalk's "(Please) Don't Break Me" serving as the highlight. The rest of the album doesn't lag far behind, though, and almost any track could be cherry-picked to use as an example of Hessler's complete mastery of indie pop. It's been a long time coming, to the point when it seemed it might never happen, but Soft Connections announces the reappearance of a major talent, one whom all fans of indie pop owe it to themselves to discover or rediscover. ~ Tim Sendra

The Battle of Bassano was fought on 8 September 1796, during the French Revolutionary Wars, in the territory of the Republic of Venice, between a French army under Napoleon Bonaparte and Austrian forces led by Count Dagobert von Wurmser. The engagement occurred during the second Austrian attempt to raise the Siege of Mantua. It was a French victory. The Austrians abandoned their artillery and baggage, losing supplies, cannons, and battle standards to the French.
Austrian Plans[edit]
The first relief of Mantua failed at the battles of Lonato and Castiglione in early August. The defeat caused Wurmser to retreat north up the Adige River valley. Meanwhile, the French reinvested the Austrian garrison of Mantua.
Ordered by Emperor Francis II to relieve Mantua at once, Feldmarschall Wurmser and his new chief-of-staff Feldmarschal-Leutnant (FML) Franz von Lauer drew up a strategy. Leaving FML Paul Davidovich and 13,700 soldiers to defend Trento and the approaches to the County of Tyrol, Wurmser directed two divisions east then south down the Brenta valley. When he joined the large division of Johann Mészáros at Bassano, he would have 20,000 men. From Bassano, Wurmser would move on Mantua, while Davidovich probed the enemy defenses from the north, looking for a favorable opportunity to support his superior. Lauer predicted that the French, having suffered recent losses, would be unable to react in time. Unknown to the Austrians, the French government desired that General Bonaparte cross the Alps to join the army of General Jean Moreau in southern Germany.[1]
See Bassano 1796 Campaign Order of Battle for a list of French and Austrian army units.
In 1796, there were only three practicable routes between Trento and the Po River basin. The first route lay west of Lake Garda. The second route was the road down the Adige valley east of Lake Garda and north of Verona. The third route went east through Levico Terme and Borgo Valsugana, then followed the Brenta River valley (Valsugana) southward to Bassano del Grappa. An army that held both Trento and Bassano could move troops and supplies between the two places free from French interference.[citation needed]
Bonaparte posted General of Division Claude Vaubois with 10,000 men on the west side of Lake Garda. General of Division André Masséna defended the Adige River valley with 13,000 troops and General of Division Pierre Augereau covered Verona with 10,000 more. General of Division Charles Kilmaine maintained the blockade of Mantua with General of Division Jean Sahuguet's division of 8,000 soldiers and held a 2,000 man reserve at Verona.[2] Another source gave Vaubois 11,000, Massena 13,000, Augereau 9,000, Sahuguet 10,000, and Kilmaine 3,500 soldiers.[3]
After Castiglione, Bonaparte had rearranged his intelligence gathering: the French representative in Venice, Lallement, was sent money to pay for spies to check out the areas between Venice and Trent [4] and Bonaparte's station chief, Angelo Pico, based at Pescheira, sent his men forward into the Tyrol. More importantly, his spy Francesco Toli had penetrated Austrian headquarters and forewarned Bonaparte that Wurmser had left Davidovich at Trento.[5] So, Bonaparte struck first, sending Masséna and Augereau north toward Trento. Meanwhile, Vaubois advanced past Lake Idro to Riva at the north end of Lake Garda. Vaubois and Masséna converged on Rovereto on the Adige. At the Battle of Rovereto on 4 September, the French routed Davidovich's outnumbered troops, inflicting 3,000 casualties at a cost of 750 killed and wounded.[6]
Finding that Wurmser had moved toward Bassano, Bonaparte abandoned the plan to link with Moreau. Leaving Vaubois to observe the fleeing Austrians in the upper Adige valley, the French army commander decided to take a bold but risky course of action. Cutting loose from his supply line, he ordered Augereau, followed by Masséna, to the east into the Brenta valley.[7] On 7 September, Augereau's 8,200 soldiers overwhelmed the 2,800 to 4,000 Austrians of Wurmser's rear guard at Primolano (6 km north of Cismon del Grappa), capturing 1,500 men and their commander Oberstleutnant Alois von Gavasini. The victorious French then followed the valley as it turned south toward Bassano.[8][9]
Surprised by the speed of the French advance, Wurmser was only able to gather up 11,000 men before the collision took place.
On 8 September, 20,000 French soldiers fell upon Wurmser from the north. First, they attacked the 3,800-man Austrian rearguard under FML Peter Quasdanovich and General-Major (GM) Adam Bajalics. Bonaparte sent Masséna down the west bank of the Brenta and Augereau down the east bank. Overwhelmed by repeated attacks and pursued by Colonel Joachim Murat's cavalry, the rearguard collapsed and Bajalics was captured.[10] Wurmser deployed one brigade on the west bank, a second brigade on the east bank, and a third in Bassano.[2] Colonel Jean Lannes led a successful charge which broke the Austrian lines and burst into the town. Quasdanovich later assumed command over the defeated Austrians who retreated east, but 3,500 soldiers of FML Karl Sebottendorf's division fell back to the south with their army commander.
The French suffered 400 killed, wounded, and missing. Wurmser lost 600 killed and wounded. Between 2,000 and 4,000 Austrians, eight colors and 30 artillery pieces were captured. The vigorous French pursuit also seized a bridging train plus 200 limbers and ammunition wagons.[11]
Race for Mantua[edit]
Wurmser unexpectedly headed west toward Mantua and joined the division of Mészáros at Vicenza. Immediately, Bonaparte sent his two divisions after the Austrians, hoping to cut them off. Masséna advanced southwest from Vicenza while Augereau moved south to Padua to close the Austrian escape route to the east. General-Major Peter Ott distinguished himself by leading Wurmser's vanguard in the race for Mantua. A French battalion holding Legnago abandoned its post, allowing the Austrians passage across the Adige.[2] Wurmser left 1,600 men to hold the city and continued his march. On 11 September, Masséna intercepted the Austrians at Cerea with two brigades weakened by straggling.[12] Ott held on until Wurmser arrived with the main body,[13] driving the French back with 1,200 casualties.[14] Bonaparte ordered Sahuguet to take up blocking positions at Castel d'Ario and at Governolo where the Mincio River flowed into the Po River. The next day, the Austrian field marshal, assisted by a local guide, crossed a bridge that Sahuguet failed to destroy and led 10,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry to Mantua.[15]
After capturing the detachment at Legnago on 13 September, Bonaparte appeared before Mantua. On 15 September, Wurmser awaited the French on the east bank of the Mincio River in line of battle, with his right flank on the San Giorgio suburb and his left on La Favorita Palace. The Austrian left wing under Ott held off Sahuguet's attacks all day. But the Austrian line gave way before the attacks of Masséna on the center and General of Brigade Louis André Bon (leading Augereau's division) on the right. The French succeeded in capturing the San Giorgio suburb and driving the Austrians into Mantua.[16] During this fight, 2,500 Austrians became casualties and 11 cannon and 3 colors were captured. The French lost 1,500 killed and wounded, plus nine guns captured.[17]
Mantua's garrison was swollen to nearly 30,000 men. But, within six weeks, 4,000 Austrians died of wounds or disease in the crowded fortress. One historian notes that,
The second attempt to relieve Mantua had therefore come to a rather sorry conclusion for the Austrians. Their army commander had managed to get himself shut inside the very place he was trying to liberate, losing more than 11,000 men in the process. The French had failed to make the link between their armies in Italy and Germany, and Bonaparte was, in a sense, back to square one, still faced with the problem of reducing Mantua, which now had a much more powerful garrison.[16]

Kubernetes Pods
are mortal. They are born and when they die, they
are not resurrected. ReplicationControllers
particular create and destroy Pods
dynamically (e.g. when scaling up or down
or when doing rolling updates). While each Pod
gets its own IP address, even
those IP addresses cannot be relied upon to be stable over time. This leads to
a problem: if some set of Pods
(let's call them backends) provides
functionality to other Pods
(let's call them frontends) inside the Kubernetes
cluster, how do those frontends find out and keep track of which backends are
in that set?
Enter Services
A Kubernetes Service
is an abstraction which defines a logical set of Pods
and a policy by which to access them - sometimes called a micro-service. The
set of Pods
targeted by a Service
is (usually) determined by a Label
(see below for why you might want a
without a selector).
As an example, consider an image-processing backend which is running with 3
replicas. Those replicas are fungible - frontends do not care which backend
they use. While the actual Pods
that compose the backend set may change, the
frontend clients should not need to be aware of that or keep track of the list
of backends themselves. The Service
abstraction enables this decoupling.
For Kubernetes-native applications, Kubernetes offers a simple Endpoints
that is updated whenever the set of Pods
in a Service
changes. For
non-native applications, Kubernetes offers a virtual-IP-based bridge to Services
which redirects to the backend Pods
A Service
in Kubernetes is a REST object, similar to a Pod
. Like all of the
REST objects, a Service
definition can be POSTed to the apiserver to create a
new instance. For example, suppose you have a set of Pods
that each expose
port 9376 and carry a label "app=MyApp"
"kind": "Service",
"apiVersion": "v1",
"metadata": {
"name": "my-service"
"spec": {
"selector": {
"app": "MyApp"
"ports": [
"protocol": "TCP",
"port": 80,
"targetPort": 9376
This specification will create a new Service
object named "my-service" which
targets TCP port 9376 on any Pod
with the "app=MyApp"
label. This Service
will also be assigned an IP address (sometimes called the "cluster IP"), which
is used by the service proxies (see below). The Service
's selector will be
evaluated continuously and the results will be POSTed to an Endpoints
also named "my-service".
Note that a Service
can map an incoming port to any targetPort
. By default
the targetPort
will be set to the same value as the port
field. Perhaps
more interesting is that targetPort
can be a string, referring to the name of
a port in the backend Pods
. The actual port number assigned to that name can
be different in each backend Pod
. This offers a lot of flexibility for
deploying and evolving your Services
. For example, you can change the port
number that pods expose in the next version of your backend software, without
breaking clients.
Kubernetes Services
support TCP
and UDP
for protocols. The default
is TCP
Services generally abstract access to Kubernetes Pods
, but they can also
abstract other kinds of backends. For example:
or on another cluster.In any of these scenarios you can define a service without a selector:
"kind": "Service",
"apiVersion": "v1",
"metadata": {
"name": "my-service"
"spec": {
"ports": [
"protocol": "TCP",
"port": 80,
"targetPort": 9376
Because this service has no selector, the corresponding Endpoints
object will not be
created. You can manually map the service to your own specific endpoints:
"kind": "Endpoints",
"apiVersion": "v1",
"metadata": {
"name": "my-service"
"subsets": [
"addresses": [
{ "ip": "18.104.22.168" }
"ports": [
{ "port": 9376 }
NOTE: Endpoint IPs may not be loopback (127.0.0.0/8), link-local (169.254.0.0/16), or link-local multicast (126.96.36.199/24).
Accessing a Service
without a selector works the same as if it had selector.
The traffic will be routed to endpoints defined by the user (188.8.131.52:9376
this example).
An ExternalName service is a special case of service that does not have selectors. It does not define any ports or endpoints. Rather, it serves as a way to return an alias to an external service residing outside the cluster.
"kind": "Service",
"apiVersion": "v1",
"metadata": {
"name": "my-service",
"namespace": "prod"
"spec": {
"type": "ExternalName",
"externalName": "my.database.example.com"
When looking up the host my-service.prod.svc.CLUSTER
, the cluster DNS service
will return a CNAME
record with the value my.database.example.com
. Accessing
such a service works in the same way as others, with the only difference that
the redirection happens at the DNS level and no proxying or forwarding occurs.
Should you later decide to move your database into your cluster, you can start
its pods, add appropriate selectors or endpoints and change the service type
Every node in a Kubernetes cluster runs a kube-proxy
. kube-proxy
responsible for implementing a form of virtual IP for Services
of type other
than ExternalName
In Kubernetes v1.0 the proxy was purely in userspace. In Kubernetes v1.1 an
iptables proxy was added, but was not the default operating mode. Since
Kubernetes v1.2, the iptables proxy is the default.
As of Kubernetes v1.0, Services
are a "layer 4" (TCP/UDP over IP) construct.
In Kubernetes v1.1 the Ingress
API was added (beta) to represent "layer 7"
(HTTP) services.
In this mode, kube-proxy watches the Kubernetes master for the addition and
removal of Service
and Endpoints
objects. For each Service
it opens a
port (randomly chosen) on the local node. Any connections to this "proxy port"
will be proxied to one of the Service
's backend Pods
(as reported in
). Which backend Pod
to use is decided based on the
of the Service
. Lastly, it installs iptables rules which
capture traffic to the Service
's clusterIP
(which is virtual) and Port
and redirects that traffic to the proxy port which proxies the backend Pod
The net result is that any traffic bound for the Service
's IP:Port is proxied
to an appropriate backend without the clients knowing anything about Kubernetes
or Services
or Pods
By default, the choice of backend is round robin. Client-IP based session affinity
can be selected by setting service.spec.sessionAffinity
to "ClientIP"
default is "None"
In this mode, kube-proxy watches the Kubernetes master for the addition and
removal of Service
and Endpoints
objects. For each Service
it installs
iptables rules which capture traffic to the Service
's clusterIP
(which is
virtual) and Port
and redirects that traffic to one of the Service
backend sets. For each Endpoints
object it installs iptables rules which
select a backend Pod
By default, the choice of backend is random. Client-IP based session affinity
can be selected by setting service.spec.sessionAffinity
to "ClientIP"
default is "None"
As with the userspace proxy, the net result is that any traffic bound for the
's IP:Port is proxied to an appropriate backend without the clients
knowing anything about Kubernetes or Services
or Pods
. This should be
faster and more reliable than the userspace proxy. However, unlike the
userspace proxier, the iptables proxier cannot automatically retry another
if the one it initially selects does not respond, so it depends on
having working readiness probes.
Many Services
need to expose more than one port. For this case, Kubernetes
supports multiple port definitions on a Service
object. When using multiple
ports you must give all of your ports names, so that endpoints can be
disambiguated. For example:
"kind": "Service",
"apiVersion": "v1",
"metadata": {
"name": "my-service"
"spec": {
"selector": {
"app": "MyApp"
"ports": [
"name": "http",
"protocol": "TCP",
"port": 80,
"targetPort": 9376
"name": "https",
"protocol": "TCP",
"port": 443,
"targetPort": 9377
You can specify your own cluster IP address as part of a Service
request. To do this, set the spec.clusterIP
field. For example, if you
already have an existing DNS entry that you wish to replace, or legacy systems
that are configured for a specific IP address and difficult to re-configure.
The IP address that a user chooses must be a valid IP address and within the
CIDR range that is specified by flag to the API
server. If the IP address value is invalid, the apiserver returns a 422 HTTP
status code to indicate that the value is invalid.
A question that pops up every now and then is why we do all this stuff with virtual IPs rather than just use standard round-robin DNS. There are a few reasons:
We try to discourage users from doing things that hurt themselves. That said, if enough people ask for this, we may implement it as an alternative.
Kubernetes supports 2 primary modes of finding a Service
- environment
variables and DNS.
When a Pod
is run on a Node
, the kubelet adds a set of environment variables
for each active Service
. It supports both Docker links
compatible variables (see
and simpler {SVCNAME}_SERVICE_HOST
and {SVCNAME}_SERVICE_PORT
where the Service name is upper-cased and dashes are converted to underscores.
For example, the Service "redis-master"
which exposes TCP port 6379 and has been
allocated cluster IP address 10.0.0.11 produces the following environment
This does imply an ordering requirement - any Service
that a Pod
wants to
access must be created before the Pod
itself, or else the environment
variables will not be populated. DNS does not have this restriction.
An optional (though strongly recommended) cluster
add-on is a DNS server. The
DNS server watches the Kubernetes API for new Services
and creates a set of
DNS records for each. If DNS has been enabled throughout the cluster then all
should be able to do name resolution of Services
For example, if you have a Service
called "my-service"
in Kubernetes
a DNS record for "my-service.my-ns"
is created. Pods
which exist in the "my-ns"
should be able to find it by simply doing
a name lookup for "my-service"
. Pods
which exist in other Namespaces
qualify the name as "my-service.my-ns"
. The result of these name lookups is the
cluster IP.
Kubernetes also supports DNS SRV (service) records for named ports. If the
has a port named "http"
with protocol TCP
, you
can do a DNS SRV query for "_http._tcp.my-service.my-ns"
to discover the port
number for "http"
The Kubernetes DNS server is the only way to access services of type
. More information is available in the DNS Pods and Services.
Sometimes you don't need or want load-balancing and a single service IP. In
this case, you can create "headless" services by specifying "None"
for the
cluster IP (spec.clusterIP
This option allows developers to reduce coupling to the Kubernetes system by allowing them freedom to do discovery their own way. Applications can still use a self-registration pattern and adapters for other discovery systems could easily be built upon this API.
For such Services
, a cluster IP is not allocated, kube-proxy does not handle
these services, and there is no load balancing or proxying done by the platform
for them. How DNS is automatically configured depends on whether the service has
selectors defined.
For headless services that define selectors, the endpoints controller creates
records in the API, and modifies the DNS configuration to return A
records (addresses) that point directly to the Pods
backing the Service
For headless services that do not define selectors, the endpoints controller does
not create Endpoints
records. However, the DNS system looks for and configures
-type servicesEndpoints
that share a name with the service, for all
other typesFor some parts of your application (e.g. frontends) you may want to expose a Service onto an external (outside of your cluster) IP address.
Kubernetes ServiceTypes
allow you to specify what kind of service you want.
The default is ClusterIP
values and their behaviors are:
: Exposes the service on a cluster-internal IP. Choosing this value
makes the service only reachable from within the cluster. This is the
default ServiceType
: Exposes the service on each Node's IP at a static port (the NodePort
A ClusterIP
service, to which the NodePort service will route, is automatically
created. You'll be able to contact the NodePort
service, from outside the cluster,
by requesting <NodeIP>:<NodePort>
: Exposes the service externally using a cloud provider's load balancer.
and ClusterIP
services, to which the external load balancer will route,
are automatically created.ExternalName
: Maps the service to the contents of the externalName
(e.g. foo.bar.example.com
), by returning a CNAME
record with its value.
No proxying of any kind is set up. This requires version 1.7 or higher of
.If you set the type
field to "NodePort"
, the Kubernetes master will
allocate a port from a flag-configured range (default: 30000-32767), and each
Node will proxy that port (the same port number on every Node) into your Service
That port will be reported in your Service
's spec.ports[*].nodePort
If you want a specific port number, you can specify a value in the nodePort
field, and the system will allocate you that port or else the API transaction
will fail (i.e. you need to take care about possible port collisions yourself).
The value you specify must be in the configured range for node ports.
This gives developers the freedom to set up their own load balancers, to configure environments that are not fully supported by Kubernetes, or even to just expose one or more nodes' IPs directly.
Note that this Service will be visible as both <NodeIP>:spec.ports[*].nodePort
and spec.clusterIp:spec.ports[*].port
On cloud providers which support external load balancers, setting the type
field to "LoadBalancer"
will provision a load balancer for your Service
The actual creation of the load balancer happens asynchronously, and
information about the provisioned balancer will be published in the Service
field. For example:
"kind": "Service",
"apiVersion": "v1",
"metadata": {
"name": "my-service"
"spec": {
"selector": {
"app": "MyApp"
"ports": [
"protocol": "TCP",
"port": 80,
"targetPort": 9376,
"nodePort": 30061
"clusterIP": "10.0.171.239",
"loadBalancerIP": "188.8.131.52",
"type": "LoadBalancer"
"status": {
"loadBalancer": {
"ingress": [
"ip": "184.108.40.206"
Traffic from the external load balancer will be directed at the backend Pods
though exactly how that works depends on the cloud provider. Some cloud providers allow
the loadBalancerIP
to be specified. In those cases, the load-balancer will be created
with the user-specified loadBalancerIP
. If the loadBalancerIP
field is not specified,
an ephemeral IP will be assigned to the loadBalancer. If the loadBalancerIP
is specified, but the
cloud provider does not support the feature, the field will be ignored.
For partial SSL support on clusters running on AWS, starting with 1.3 two
annotations can be added to a LoadBalancer
"metadata": {
"name": "my-service",
"annotations": {
"service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-ssl-cert": "arn:aws:acm:us-east-1:123456789012:certificate/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012"
The first specifies which certificate to use. It can be either a certificate from a third party issuer that was uploaded to IAM or one created within AWS Certificate Manager.
"metadata": {
"name": "my-service",
"annotations": {
"service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-backend-protocol": "(https|http|ssl|tcp)"
The second annotation specifies which protocol a pod speaks. For HTTPS and SSL, the ELB will expect the pod to authenticate itself over the encrypted connection.
HTTP and HTTPS will select layer 7 proxying: the ELB will terminate
the connection with the user, parse headers and inject the X-Forwarded-For
header with the user's IP address (pods will only see the IP address of the
ELB at the other end of its connection) when forwarding requests.
TCP and SSL will select layer 4 proxying: the ELB will forward traffic without modifying the headers.
If there are external IPs that route to one or more cluster nodes, Kubernetes services can be exposed on those
. Traffic that ingresses into the cluster with the external IP (as destination IP), on the service port,
will be routed to one of the service endpoints. externalIPs
are not managed by Kubernetes and are the responsibility
of the cluster administrator.
In the ServiceSpec, externalIPs
can be specified along with any of the ServiceTypes
In the example below, my-service can be accessed by clients on 188.8.131.52:80 (externalIP:port)
"kind": "Service",
"apiVersion": "v1",
"metadata": {
"name": "my-service"
"spec": {
"selector": {
"app": "MyApp"
"ports": [
"name": "http",
"protocol": "TCP",
"port": 80,
"targetPort": 9376
"externalIPs" : [
Using the userspace proxy for VIPs will work at small to medium scale, but will not scale to very large clusters with thousands of Services. See the original design proposal for portals for more details.
Using the userspace proxy obscures the source-IP of a packet accessing a Service
This makes some kinds of firewalling impossible. The iptables proxier does not
obscure in-cluster source IPs, but it does still impact clients coming through
a load-balancer or node-port.
The Type
field is designed as nested functionality - each level adds to the
previous. This is not strictly required on all cloud providers (e.g. Google Compute Engine does
not need to allocate a NodePort
to make LoadBalancer
work, but AWS does)
but the current API requires it.
In the future we envision that the proxy policy can become more nuanced than
simple round robin balancing, for example master-elected or sharded. We also
envision that some Services
will have "real" load balancers, in which case the
VIP will simply transport the packets there.
We intend to improve our support for L7 (HTTP) Services
We intend to have more flexible ingress modes for Services
which encompass
the current ClusterIP
, NodePort
, and LoadBalancer
modes and more.
The previous information should be sufficient for many people who just want to
use Services
. However, there is a lot going on behind the scenes that may be
worth understanding.
One of the primary philosophies of Kubernetes is that users should not be exposed to situations that could cause their actions to fail through no fault of their own. In this situation, we are looking at network ports - users should not have to choose a port number if that choice might collide with another user. That is an isolation failure.
In order to allow users to choose a port number for their Services
, we must
ensure that no two Services
can collide. We do that by allocating each
its own IP address.
To ensure each service receives a unique IP, an internal allocator atomically updates a global allocation map in etcd prior to each service. The map object must exist in the registry for services to get IPs, otherwise creations will fail with a message indicating an IP could not be allocated. A background controller is responsible for creating that map (to migrate from older versions of Kubernetes that used in memory locking) as well as checking for invalid assignments due to administrator intervention and cleaning up any IPs that were allocated but which no service currently uses.
Unlike Pod
IP addresses, which actually route to a fixed destination,
IPs are not actually answered by a single host. Instead, we use
(packet processing logic in Linux) to define virtual IP addresses
which are transparently redirected as needed. When clients connect to the
VIP, their traffic is automatically transported to an appropriate endpoint.
The environment variables and DNS for Services
are actually populated in
terms of the Service
's VIP and port.
We support two proxy modes - userspace and iptables, which operate slightly differently.
As an example, consider the image processing application described above.
When the backend Service
is created, the Kubernetes master assigns a virtual
IP address, for example 10.0.0.1. Assuming the Service
port is 1234, the
is observed by all of the kube-proxy
instances in the cluster.
When a proxy sees a new Service
, it opens a new random port, establishes an
iptables redirect from the VIP to this new port, and starts accepting
connections on it.
When a client connects to the VIP the iptables rule kicks in, and redirects
the packets to the Service proxy
's own port. The Service proxy
chooses a
backend, and starts proxying traffic from the client to the backend.
This means that Service
owners can choose any port they want without risk of
collision. Clients can simply connect to an IP and port, without being aware
of which Pods
they are actually accessing.
Again, consider the image processing application described above.
When the backend Service
is created, the Kubernetes master assigns a virtual
IP address, for example 10.0.0.1. Assuming the Service
port is 1234, the
is observed by all of the kube-proxy
instances in the cluster.
When a proxy sees a new Service
, it installs a series of iptables rules which
redirect from the VIP to per-Service
rules. The per-Service
rules link to
rules which redirect (Destination NAT) to the backends.
When a client connects to the VIP the iptables rule kicks in. A backend is chosen (either based on session affinity or randomly) and packets are redirected to the backend. Unlike the userspace proxy, packets are never copied to userspace, the kube-proxy does not have to be running for the VIP to work, and the client IP is not altered.
This same basic flow executes when traffic comes in through a node-port or through a load-balancer, though in those cases the client IP does get altered.
Service is a top-level resource in the Kubernetes REST API. More details about the API object can be found at: Service API object.

A rookie Los Angeles police officer is being sought as a "person of interest" in connection with the shooting death of an Ontario man early Friday, March 13, in Pomona, authorities said.
Pomona police said 27-year-old Henry Solis has not been seen since the shooting, which killed 23-year-old Salome Rodriguez.
UPDATE: Fugitive ex-LAPD officer arrested
Authorities said Solis, who joined the LAPD in June and was still in his probationary period, was off-duty at the time. They said Solis didn't show up for work Saturday and they have reason to believe he knows that detectives are looking for him.
Cmdr. Andrew Smith, an LAPD spokesman, said Solis' supervisors weren't able to reach him by phone. He said the department was assisting Pomona police in finding Solis, whose last known address was in Pomona.
Pomona police said the shooting occurred in a downtown bar district in the area of Third and Main streets after two men got into a fight. Rodriguez died after being shot in the lower torso.
Detectives said they don't believe the men who got into the fight knew each other.
