Service Discovery: Eureka & Client-Side Load Balancing
A service instance's IP address changes every time Kubernetes reschedules it. This module is how one service finds another without ever hardcoding where it lives.
Learning objectives
- Beginner: Register a service with a Eureka server and confirm it appears in Eureka's dashboard.
- Intermediate: Call another service by its logical name instead of a hardcoded host:port.
- Advanced: Explain how client-side load balancing distributes calls across multiple healthy instances without a centralized load balancer in the path.
