Spring boot Kubernetes Service Discovery

I am running into issues with Kubernetes Service Discovery on Spring Boot applications.

I should be able to discover the services whether my spring boot application is running within or out of Kubernetes cluster. Our local development won't be on k8s cluster.

I am using Service Discovery via DNS. I tried using spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes</artifactId>
        <version>0.2.0.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

As per documentation you should be able to autowire DiscoveryClient and good to go

@Autowire
private DiscoveryClient discoveryClient;

DiscoveryClient is part of spring-cloud-commons. spring-cloud-starter-kuberenetes doesn't have it.

Anyone solved similar problem using the same library or a different one? Please share the solution

Thanks!
