eureka force service registration from application.yml - spring

I want to register in my Eureka instance a ElasticSearch service (and some others) with a hardcoded IP.
The idea here is that my other services (like Zuul) could access those services using ribbon.
It would be optimal to set those services in my Eureka's application.yml
Is it possible? And how?

It is not a feature that eureka supports.

Service discovery in kubernetes/ spring boot

What are the benefits to use "spring service discovery kubernetes" instead of using directly the Service DNS coming from Kubernetes?
I mean, If I deploy in kubernetes 2 services (service-a and service-b), and service-b exposes a Rest API.
service-a can easily connect to service-b using the url "http://service-b/...".
Question #1. In order to let service-a be able to connect to service-b using the service DNS, service-b has to be deployed before service-a?
Question #2. What are the pros/cons using the spring discovery?
Question #1:
No, the order in which you deploy the services is not important to use the kubernetes DNS services to resolve the ips, the only thing here is that if you deploy serviceA after serviceB, you will have in serviceA as an environment variable the ip of serviceB but not the inverse.
Question #2:
The spring service discovery is an alternative to the native kubernetes service discovery and it is used by other spring cloud projects like spring-cloud-eureka to perform the service discovery. The only pros I see in this approach is that you can custom the load balancing algorithm tath you can use to spread the load among the different instances

Spring boot micro service Deployment

I am new to Micro services architecture.. I want know if it is required to deploy all Spring boot micro services in the same local network ..? As Eureka Discovery service uses Private/Internal IP Address for Registration , i am unable to call a services from another service deployed in different local network...
Please let me know how micro services deployed across multiple Sub nets should communicate each other in this case
or is there a way to tell eureka to use only public IP Address..?
Not sure if this would help, but by default, your eureka client will try to connect to the default localhost:8761 where the eureka discovery server should exist.
In case you have a different location for your discovery-service you can use the following in the application.properties file in your client services.
eureka.client.service-url.defaultZone=http://{address}-{port}/eureka

Spring cloud registering multiple instances of same service

I am developing a microservice, using Spring Boot, that exposes REST Endpoint. Because of scalability, I have to run multiple instances of this services on a different port. What will be the configurations for the applications so that it can register with eureka and requests are load balanced? I am using Spring cloud config, Eureka server and zuul.
Attaching following entries in the client properties file will do the trick. This is for Spring cloud config dalston
eureka.instance.instanceId=${spring.application.name}:${spri‌​ng.application.insta‌​nce_id:${random.valu‌​e}}
I guess you meant to register with Eureka instead of Config server.
To register multiple instances that might be running in the same host but listening on a different port you would need to set eureka.instance.metadataMap.instanceId to a unique value maybe using:
eureka.instance.metadataMap.instanceId=${spring.application.name}:${random.int}

Difference between Eureka Discovery vs Service Registry (PCF)

In start.spring.io, I can find Eureka Discovery and Service Registry (PCF), seems like they are the same. what's the different between them?
They indeed are same. PCF's Service Registry is based on Eureka.
You may subscribe for the already available service, instead of running your own discovery service.
Here is the reference to PCF documentation:

Route Existing Services via ZUUL without adding routing rule

I am trying to route existing services via Spring cloud Netflix Zuul.
I have an existing service available at below url,
http://localhost:3080/query-service/getquery/1
Out of the box, with zuul I can route to the service as below,
localhost:9000/queryservice-id/queryservice/getquery/1, with "queryservice-id" as the service-id of the service when it is registered in Service Registry. The zuul port is 9000.
I do not want to change the context path and service path information when accessing the service via ZUUL.
With ZUUL, I want to access the service as below,
http://localhost:9000/query-service/getquery/1
I do want to prefix with the "serviceId". This is because I do not want to impact any existing clients of the service. Only the host and port changes, without serviceId.
I was able to accomplish it as below with ZUUL Configuration,
zuul:
routes:
query-service:
path: /query-service/**
serviceId: query-service
stripPrefix: false
With the above configuration, I am able to only use the zuul host and port, the other service specific information remains as before. Seems like stripPrefix is helping in routing without the serviceId.
But, I have a lot of services and will be adding more services too.
For every such service, I do not want to be adding a rule like that to ZUUL configuration which will mean rebuilding and recycling the ZUUL Service.
I feel there should be a simpler and better way to accomplish this, without a big effort, because the change I want to do is common to all services
Is there a way to making this change common for alll the services I want
to be routed via ZUUL.
Thanks,
As checked with the Spring Cloud Netflix team this is recommended approach.
