allow Floating IPs to point to load balancers

This would allow me to scale an app seamlessly in real time, instead of needing to carefully time it against DNS cache latency.

After playing around with the new Load Balancers for a bit, It seems like an obvious extension. By the way, I'm really pleased with the feature. It seems very polished.

    Thanks a lot for the feedback. We know that we are missing this integration, but we are working to fix it asap. Stay tuned for updates :)

    Since LoadBalancers can not span multiple kubernetes cluster, we need this feature to be able to allow migration or fail-over to other kubernetes clusters.

    We spawn new clusters regularly to eg update kubernetes versions or perform major upgrades to system critical components like in-cluster ingress.

    Would it be possible for the Digital Ocean team to get back to us on this? 2 years seems like an awfully long time to "stay tuned" for!

    Two years after the admin response, this is still not available? Whatever team responsible for this should be let go.

    Due to some tests i am doing, I am scraping and recreating a k8s cluster multiple times per day, and each time i create a new load balancer. The floating ip is the only option of "static ip" i can get on digital ocean and want to be able to point ...
