Description

We could make good use of events API to provide information to the user, especially in cases of errors, but also inform/remind that services of type NodePort or LoadBalancer are accessible using localhost:<nodePort>.

For example, here is what a GKE user sees when they change service type:

> kubectl describe svc test
Name:                     default
Namespace:                test
Labels:                   <none>
Selector:                 app=test
Type:                     LoadBalancer
IP:                       10.39.248.110
Port:                     <unset>  80/TCP
TargetPort:               8080/TCP
NodePort:                 <unset>  30482/TCP
Endpoints:                10.24.0.2:8080
Session Affinity:         None
External Traffic Policy:  Cluster
Events:
  Type    Reason                Age   From                Message
  ----    ------                ----  ----                -------
  Normal  Type                  2s    service-controller  NodePort -> LoadBalancer

Research direction

Start by locating the vpnkit-expose-port-controller entry point and the events API it would use. Review how NodePort and LoadBalancer services are currently handled, then define completion around emitting user-visible events for service-type changes, errors, and localhost access details.
