Hi Tim,

Thanks for your reply. I'll explain our uses case below.

Our uses case is that we provide a service as a Linux VM so that user can 
SSH and VNC into that VM.
Each VM is run as a stateful set in GKE cluster. 

For each user, we need to provide expose 2 ports via a service (1 for VNC 
and one for SSH). 
We *do not use LoadBalancer service*, because the price of 1 forwarding 
rule is ~4-6 USD, that will *increase our cost per user* to 4-6USD/month.
Therefore, we use nodePort service. Because the port range is 30000-32767, 
it means 1 cluster can only serve about ~1400 users. Currently, our user 
base is ~500 so it might not be a problem, but it might be in the future.

My naive solution is to increase the port range so a cluster might be able 
to serve more users. If the number of users becomes big enough, maybe we 
can consider creating another cluster.

Thanks.
