For troubleshooting,

[`nicolaka/netshoot`](https://github.com/nicolaka/netshoot) is useful.

```
kubectl run -it netshoot --image=nicolaka/netshoot --rm --restart=Never --command=true -- bash
```

Access any Service

```
curl http://<Service Name>.<Namespace>.svc.cluster.local:<Target Port>
```

Access the Kubernetes API

```
curl --cacert /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/ca.crt \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token)" \
     https://kubernetes.default.svc.cluster.local
```
