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 :)

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

+1 Especially considering that the same LB gets used with K8S

Any updates on this? It's been a year, is it still planned?

This is even more important now with K8s - a simple `helm upgrade` can result in an ingress being reconfigured and an auto-created Load Balancer being destroyed, potentially losing the IP for an entire cluster

Any progress on this? Having to wait for DNS propagation when upgrading from droplet to load balancer does not sound optimal.

Awesome! :-) Actually, I was half expecting to hear, "We know, but it's actually non-trivial because of ..."

Any update on this? With the latest LB updates you guys now have everything we need except this. As soon as floating ips for load balancers is live, we can switch over, but for now, this is a complete roadblock.
