When the Helm chart for the service component is deployed, the initContainer will run and will store the application configuration into Consul. When the service component starts, the configuration information will be available
in Consul.

Kubernetes Service

The k8splugin currently creates a ClusterIP service if a component exposes IP ports within the cluster and a NodePort service plus a ClusterIP service if the component exposes a port outside the cluster.  In the latter case, the ClusterIP service is redundant–a NodePort service will also expose a component within the cluster.  The OOM common templates include a template for a Service.  We can use that template to create a Service for the component, with all of the details configured in the values.yaml file.    The k8splugin does not currently allow for exposing a component via an Ingress.  Supporting Ingresses should be investigated as part of the move to Helm.
