Docker Desktop: expose service not showing any valid EXTERNAL-IP

Question

I'm new to Kubernetes. I am facing the following issue.

I created a deployment using this command.

$ kubectl run simple-deployment-14 --image cooldocker19/manas-simple-flask:v1.0 --port=5000

To expose it as a service, I used this.

kubectl expose deployment simple-deployment-14 --port 5000 --type=LoadBalancer --name=simple-service

In the above command, when I use type=LoadBalancer, then I see the EXTERNAL-IP is <pending>and with type=NodePort, then the EXTERNAL-IP is none

Here is the details of the service.

$ kubectl describe service simple-service-14

Name:                     simple-service-14
Namespace:                default
Labels:                   run=simple-deployment-14
Annotations:              <none>
Selector:                 run=simple-deployment-14
Type:                     NodePort
IP:                       10.101.XXX.XXX
LoadBalancer Ingress:     localhost
Port:                     <unset>  5000/TCP
TargetPort:               5000/TCP
NodePort:                 <unset>  31754/TCP
Endpoints:                10.1.X.XXX:5000
Session Affinity:         None
External Traffic Policy:  Cluster
Events:                   <none>

I was expecting to see a working endpoint on browser, but it doesn't show anything.

Reference endpoint: http://localhost:5000/test

What am I missing here ?
