  # Open service/kubernetes-dashboard in namespace/kube-system
  kubectl open-svc kubernetes-dashboard -n kube-system

  # Open port "http-monitoring" of service/istiod in namespace/istio-system
  kubectl open-svc istiod -n istio-system --svc-port http-monitoring

  # Open port 15014 of service/istiod in namespace/istio-system
  kubectl open-svc istiod -n istio-system --svc-port 15014
