Kube Proxy

Kube Proxy is a process that runs on each Worker Node, it looks for new services and creates the IP Tables rules to forward the traffic to the services and the backend Pod, each Service gets a Virtual IP on which the traffic is managed to the related applications, since this IP is just virtual it does not exist on the network and does not have any interfaces or actively listens for anything, it lives completely in-memory within Kubernetes
