Punj Prakash:
master $ kubectl exec -it secure-pod – sh

nc -v secure-service 80

sh: 1: nc: not found

Rahul Soni:
Hey @Punj Prakash seems you need to install nc package. Can you try to install and check?

Punj Prakash:
ok thanks

Punj Prakash:
I used apt-get update and then apt install netcat. it works. Thanks @Rahul Soni for help!
