Thank you Justin for your suggestion. I looked at the bootstrap.xml of both broker nodes and the binding is set to the hostname of the pod: <web bind=" http://ex-aao-ss-0.ex-aao-hdls-svc.myproject.svc.cluster.local:8161" path="web"> <web bind=" http://ex-aao-ss-1.ex-aao-hdls-svc.myproject.svc.cluster.local:8161" path="web"> So it makes sense that I got a connection refused when accessing the pod from my desktop using localhost through port forwarding to the pod.
I also see that there are 3 kubernetes services running, one for both 8161 and 61616 (I think this is the main service that i can hit from the jms consumer) and 2 other that only for 8161 but for each broker node (I believe this is to allow clients from outside kubernetes to access the web console using IP, giving that routing from outside cluster to the service IP is present): kubectl get services -n myproject NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE activemq-artemis-operator ClusterIP 10.100.240.205 <none> 8383/TCP 46h ex-aao-hdls-svc ClusterIP None <none> 8161/TCP,61616/TCP 134m ex-aao-ping-svc ClusterIP None <none> 8888/TCP 134m ex-aao-wconsj-0-svc ClusterIP *10.96.183.20* <none> 8161/TCP 134m ex-aao-wconsj-1-svc ClusterIP *10.98.233.91* <none> 8161/TCP 134m Here is the description of the main service: kubectl describe service ex-aao-hdls-svc -n myproject Name: * ex-aao-hdls-svc* Namespace: myproject Labels: ActiveMQArtemis=ex-aao application=ex-aao-app Annotations: <none> Selector: ActiveMQArtemis=ex-aao,application=ex-aao-app Type: ClusterIP IP Family Policy: SingleStack IP Families: IPv4 IP: None IPs: None Port: console-jolokia 8161/TCP TargetPort: 8161/TCP Endpoints: *10.1.0.30*:8161,*10.1.0.31*:8161 Port: all 61616/TCP TargetPort: 61616/TCP Endpoints: *10.1.0.30*:61616,*10.1.0.31*:61616 Session Affinity: None Events: <none> And here is the description the other 2 services: kubectl describe service ex-aao-wconsj-0-svc -n myproject Name: ex-aao-wconsj-0-svc Namespace: myproject Labels: ActiveMQArtemis=ex-aao application=ex-aao-app Annotations: <none> Selector: ActiveMQArtemis=ex-aao,application=ex-aao-app, statefulset.kubernetes.io/pod-name=ex-aao-ss-0 Type: ClusterIP IP Family Policy: SingleStack IP Families: IPv4 IP: *10.96.183.20* IPs: *10.96.183.20* Port: wconsj-0 8161/TCP TargetPort: 8161/TCP Endpoints: *10.1.0.30*:8161 Session Affinity: None Events: <none> kubectl describe service ex-aao-wconsj-1-svc -n myproject Name: ex-aao-wconsj-1-svc Namespace: myproject Labels: ActiveMQArtemis=ex-aao application=ex-aao-app Annotations: <none> Selector: ActiveMQArtemis=ex-aao,application=ex-aao-app, statefulset.kubernetes.io/pod-name=ex-aao-ss-1 Type: ClusterIP IP Family Policy: SingleStack IP Families: IPv4 IP: *10.98.233.91* IPs: *10.98.233.91* Port: wconsj-1 8161/TCP TargetPort: 8161/TCP Endpoints: *10.1.0.31*:8161 Session Affinity: None Events: <none> The 2 pods hosting the broker nodes are ex-aao-ss0 and ex-aao-ss1: kubectl get all -o wide -n myproject NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP pod/activemq-artemis-operator-bb9cf6567-qjdzs 1/1 Running 0 46h 10.1.0.6 pod/debug 1/1 Running 0 162m 10.1.0.29 pod/ex-aao-ss-0 1/1 Running 0 155m *10.1.0.30* pod/ex-aao-ss-1 1/1 Running 0 154m *10.1.0.31* Hence, from another pod in the same cluster I can access the web console : curl -L http://*ex-aao-hdls-svc*:8161, so I should be able to port forward using this service instead of the pod: C:\Users\nle>kubectl port-forward service/ex-aao-hdls-svc 8161:8161 -n myproject Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8161 -> 8161 Forwarding from [::1]:8161 -> 8161 However, hitting http://localhost:8161 from my desktop still give the same error: Handling connection for 8161 Handling connection for 8161 E0818 14:51:30.135226 18024 portforward.go:400] an error occurred forwarding 8161 -> 8161: error forwarding port 8161 to pod ff6c35be7d3ace906d726b6abd38dbe122ddf2530647a44c799ca9a8a15ab245, uid : exit status 1: 2021/08/18 18:51:26 socat[1906] E connect(17, AF=2 127.0.0.1:8161, 16): Connection refused E0818 14:51:30.136855 18024 portforward.go:400] an error occurred forwarding 8161 -> 8161: error forwarding port 8161 to pod ff6c35be7d3ace906d726b6abd38dbe122ddf2530647a44c799ca9a8a15ab245, uid : exit status 1: 2021/08/18 18:51:26 socat[1907] E connect(17, AF=2 127.0.0.1:8161, 16): Connection refused Do you have any other suggestion?
