    The output is similar to:

    ```
    NAME         TYPE           CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)          AGE
    hello-node   LoadBalancer   10.108.144.78   <pending>     8080:30369/TCP   21s
    kubernetes   ClusterIP      10.96.0.1       <none>        443/TCP          23m
    ```

    On cloud providers that support load balancers,
    an external IP address would be provisioned to access the Service. On minikube,
    the `LoadBalancer` type makes the Service accessible through the `minikube service`
    command.

3. Run the following command:

    ```shell
    minikube service hello-node
    ```

    This opens up a browser window that serves your app and shows the app's response.

## Enable addons

The minikube tool includes a set of built-in {{< glossary_tooltip text="addons" term_id="addons" >}} that can be enabled, disabled and opened in the local Kubernetes environment.

1. List the currently supported addons:

    ```shell
    minikube addons list
    ```

    The output is similar to:

    ```
    addon-manager: enabled
    dashboard: enabled
    default-storageclass: enabled
    efk: disabled
    freshpod: disabled
    gvisor: disabled
    helm-tiller: disabled
    ingress: disabled
    ingress-dns: disabled
    logviewer: disabled
    metrics-server: disabled
    nvidia-driver-installer: disabled
    nvidia-gpu-device-plugin: disabled
    registry: disabled
    registry-creds: disabled
    storage-provisioner: enabled
    storage-provisioner-gluster: disabled
    ```

1. Enable an addon, for example, `metrics-server`:

    ```shell
    minikube addons enable metrics-server
    ```

    The output is similar to:

    ```
    The 'metrics-server' addon is enabled
    ```

1. View the Pod and Service you created by installing that addon:

    ```shell
    kubectl get pod,svc -n kube-system
    ```

    The output is similar to:

    ```
    NAME                                        READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
    pod/coredns-5644d7b6d9-mh9ll                1/1       Running   0          34m
    pod/coredns-5644d7b6d9-pqd2t                1/1       Running   0          34m
    pod/metrics-server-67fb648c5                1/1       Running   0          26s
    pod/etcd-minikube                           1/1       Running   0          34m
    pod/influxdb-grafana-b29w8                  2/2       Running   0          26s
    pod/kube-addon-manager-minikube             1/1       Running   0          34m

Title: Accessing Services and Enabling Addons in minikube

Summary

This section demonstrates how to access a service in minikube using the `minikube service` command, which opens a browser window to display the application. It then explains how to use minikube addons to manage built-in tools, providing commands to list available addons (`minikube addons list`) and enable them (e.g., `minikube addons enable metrics-server`). It also shows how to view pods and services created by enabling addons using `kubectl get pod,svc -n kube-system`.
