Does kubernetes Deployment automatically create the service like openshift DeploymentConfig does?

Question

I created a deployment using kubernetes Deployment in openshift cluster. i expected it to create the service for all the container ports like openshift DeploymentConfig does. but i did not find any service created by the kubernetes Deployment.

does kubernetes Deployment not create the service automatically like openshift DeploymentConfig does ?

My openshift version is 3.11

Both Deployment and DeploymentConfig does not create the Service component in OpenShift. These component are used for creation of Replication Control of the Pod.

Service has to be configured separately with the selector parameter to point to the specific Pods.

selector: name: as in the deployment or in deploymentConfig.
