Unable to connect to Azure Kubernetes (AKS) external-ip - asp.net-core

Question

I'm trying to deploy my first asp.net app (sample VS 2019 project) to AKS.
I was able to create a docker container, run it locally and access it via http://localhost:8000/weatherforecast.
However, I'm not able to access the endpoint when it's deployed in AKS.
Yaml file:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
<t/>name: aspnetdemo-deployment
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: aspnetdemo
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: aspnetdemo
spec:
containers:
- name: mycr
image: mycr.azurecr.io/aspnetdemo:v1
imagePullPolicy: Always
ports:
- containerPort: 8080
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: aspnetdemo-service
spec:
ports:
- port: 80
targetPort: 8080
selector:
app: aspnetdemo
type : LoadBalancer
I verified that the pod is running -
kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
aspnetdemo-deployment-* 2/2 Running 0 21m
and the service too -
kubectl get service
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
aspnetdemo-service LoadBalancer 10.0.X.X 13.89.X.X 80:30635/TCP 22m
I am getting a error when I try to access 13.89.X.X/weatherforecast:
"this site can't be reached - the connection was reset"
Any ideas?
When I run the following command, it returns an endpoint -
kubectl describe service aspnetdemo-service | select-string Endpoints
Endpoints: 10.244.X.X:8080
I also tried port forwarding and that didn't work either.
kubectl port-forward service/aspnetdemo-service 3000:80
http://localhost:3000/weatherforecast
E0512 15:16:24.429387 21356 portforward.go:400] an error occurred forwarding 3000 -> 8080: error forwarding port 8080 to pod a87ebc116d0e0b6e7066f32e945661c50d745d392c76844de084c7da96a874b8, uid : exit status 1: 2020/05/12 22:16:24 socat[18810] E write(5, 0x14da4c0, 535): Broken pipe
Thanks in advance!
