Hey all,
I was reading the docs at https://registry.terraform.io/providers/digitalocean/digitalocean/latest/docs/resources/loadbalancer and made a code for creating a load balancer, a couple servers, a mysql managed database and some structures like VPC and projects.
The issue is, when creating the load balancer, the module calls the api, and then it creates a A record for the root domain. So, if I manage the domain foo.com, where the record (A, foo.com) points to (192.168.10.10), I get another extra (A, foo.com) record pointing to the load balancer ip address.
The issue is documented here https://github.com/digitalocean/terraform-provider-digitalocean/issues/456 and I only figured out the issue after being alerted about an outage on our systems pointing to the original (A, foo.com) record. Do you people know any workaround on that?

Hi there,
Just wanted to provide a quick update here. The API now supports setting disable_lets_encrypt_dns_records to disable this behavior.

This has also been ported to the Terraform Provider as well:
