How do i launch a service via the minikube setup of kubernetes?

Let say you have a service running which exposes a status port on the minikube node. You can open that service in a browser by finding out the name of the service and running minikube service against it, as follows:

List the services.

$ kubectl get svc
NAME          TYPE        CLUSTER-IP     EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)        AGE
kubernetes    ClusterIP   10.96.0.1      <none>        443/TCP        46d
web-service   NodePort    10.96.232.44   <none>        80:30862/TCP   51m

Open the service in a browser.

$ minikube service web-service
