## Create a store-products service and verify that you can access it from the busybox testing pod.

**Create a service for the store-products pods:**

```
cat << EOF | kubectl apply -f -
kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: store-products
spec:
  selector:
    app: store-products
  ports:
  - protocol: TCP
    port: 80
    targetPort: 80
EOF
```

**Make sure the service is up in the cluster:**

```
kubectl get svc store-products
curl http://$ClusterIP
```
