#ClusterIP
Default service type in Kubernetes.
Exposes the service on a cluster-internal IP only.
Suitable for internal communication between services within the cluster.
Not accessible from outside the cluster.

#NodePort
Exposes the service on a static port on each node.
Allows external access to the service using [NodeIP]:[NodePort].
Useful for development and testing purposes.
Offers a wide range of port numbers (30000-32767).

#LoadBalancer
Provisioned by cloud providers or external load balancer devices.
Automatically assigns an external IP address to access the service.
Distributes traffic across multiple nodes.
Ideal for high availability and scaling.
