Why external IP of AKS is not working? Something wrong with yaml? - azure-aks

Question

I try to deploy simple API to AKS. API works fine in local docker.
I get no errors. I see from AKS that status is running. However browser does not respond. Could someone check yaml or give tip what could be wrong?
C:\Azure\ACIPythonAPI\conda-flask-api> kubectl get service demo-flask-api --watch
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
demo-flask-api LoadBalancer 10.0.105.135 11.22.33.44 80:31551/TCP 5m53s

Seems you did not defined a Ingress resource nether an Ingress Controller.
Here is a Workflow from MS to install ingress-nginx as Ingress Controller on your Cluster.
You then expose the IC service like this:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
annotations:
service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-load-balancer-resource-group: myResourceGroup # only needed if the LB is in another RG
name: ingress-nginx-controller
spec:
loadBalancerIP: <YOUR_STATIC_IP>
type: LoadBalancer
The Ingress Controller then will route incoming traffic to your demo flask API with an Ingress resource:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: minimal-ingress
spec:
ingressClassName: nginx # ingress-nginx specifix
rules:
- http:
paths:
- path: /
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: test
port:
number: 80
