PortForward and kubectl proxy, it showed external IP as pending.

kubectl patch svc <svc-name> -n <namespace> -p

'{"spec": {"type": "LoadBalancer", "externalIPs":["172.31.71.218"]}}'

You can't remove the existing port, but you can add the HTTPs port and also change the type using kubectl patch

Example:

kubectl patch svc <my_service> -p '{"spec":

{"ports": [{"port": 443,"targetPort": 443,"name": "https"},

{"port": 80,"targetPort": 80,"name": "http"}],"type": "LoadBalancer"}}'

If you don't want to create JSON on the command line, create a yaml file like so:

ports:
  - port: 443
    targetPort: 443
    name: "https"
  - port: 80
    targetPort: 80
    name: "http"
  type: LoadBalancer

And then do:

kubectl patch svc <my_service> --patch "$(cat patch.yaml)"
