Is there a way to prevent Load Balancer IP changes any time I deploy ingress-nginx. I would also like to know why does a new LB spin up whenever I create a NodePort service? Could all of this be prevented by using a Global Load Balancer?

Hi there,
I believe that you should be able to reuse an existing load balancer if needed as per the guide here:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/kubernetes/how-to/migrate-load-balancers
When you create a new service config file you can set the load-balancer-id
annotation, eg:
metadata:
name: app
annotations:
kubernetes.digitalocean.com/load-balancer-id: c16b0b29-217b-48eb-907e-93cf2e01fb56
If you have other load balancer configuration annotations that you want to transfer to the new service, add them to the config file.
Let me know if this is what you are after!
