Let's port forward to the Nginx pod created by the deployment we created in the previous step. To do this, we'll use Kubectl to forward traffic from our local machine (the host) to the Nginx pod.
kubectl port-forward deployment/nginx 8080:80
Output:
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8080 -> 80
Forwarding from [::1]:8080 -> 80
Handling connection for 8080
To verify open different terminals and run the following command,
curl localhost:8080
Output:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome to nginx!</title>
<style>
html { color-scheme: light dark; }
body { width: 35em; margin: 0 auto;
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to nginx!</h1>

You can also use web browser and type, http://localhost:8080 to see the nginx server page.
Now that we have seen how to port forward ports from deployments and run commands inside containers, let's look at some more advanced deployment operations.
