is it possible to set the loadbalancer pod ingress to a fixed IP address? We are running on Kubernetes version 1.24.6. I searched google and some suggestions is to set service.spec.loadBalancerIP but it didn't do the trick. The external ip for the pod still dynamic. It's really inconvenient that everytime restart the machine, I need to adjust my PC hosts file to find the right service.

hey! I believe the loadBalancerIP is under status, not spec. So, you could try

set service.status.loadBalancerIP

. However, If you specify a

loadBalancerIP

but your cloud provider does not support the feature, the

loadbalancerIP

field that you set is ignored.

Hi David, when you set the

loadBalancerIP

does it just get ignored or are you actually seeing and error?
