Find your cluster IP:
It may take a second, but your deployment will soon show up if you run:
```shell
kubectl get services hello-minikube
```
The easiest way to access this service is to let minikube launch a web browser for you:
```shell
minikube service hello-minikube
```
Alternatively, you can find the cluster IP as seen by your host:
```shell
minikube ip
```
Either navigate to <your ip>:8080 in your web browser, or let minikube do it for you:
Then navigate to <your ip>:8080 in your web browser
```shell
minikube service hello-minikube
```
## What about LoadBalanced apps?
To access a LoadBalancer application, use the "minikube tunnel" feature. Here is an example deployment:

In another window, start the tunnel to create a routable IP for the deployment:
In another window, start the tunnel. The tunnel creates routable IP's for LoadBalancer apps:
```shell
minikube tunnel
```
Access the application using the "service" command, or your web browser. If you are using macOS, minikube will also forward DNS requests for you: [http://balanced.default.svc.cluster.local:8081/](http://balanced.default.svc.cluster.local:8081/)
Find the external IP assigned to your LoadBalancer app:
`kubectl get services balanced`
Access the application using `http://<EXTERNAL-IP>:8081`
TIP: If you are using macOS, minikube will also forward DNS for you: [http://balanced.default.svc.cluster.local:8081/](http://balanced.default.svc.cluster.local:8081/)
