Kubernetes service usage for NLB from different AWS account

Question

I have a requirement to add kubernetes Service with an ExternalName pointing to NLB(in a different AWS account). I am using terraform to implement this. I am not sure how to use NLB info external name section. Can someone please help?

   resource "kubernetes_service" "test_svc" {
      metadata {
        name      = "test"
        namespace = var.environment
        labels = {
          app = "test"
        }
      }
      spec {
        type          = "ExternalName"
        **external_name =** 
      }
    }

Answer 1

Usage of external name is as follows:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: my-service
  namespace: prod
spec:
  type: ExternalName
  externalName: my.database.example.com

Try to put the NLB CNAME as the external name
