Question
Using floating IP for a one node kubernetes cluster and auto updates
Hi,
I really like the Digitalocean kubernetes implementation, so I am thinking to use it also for small projects, where one node is enough. For one node cluster, a floating IP would be enough.
So I am asking you, if it is possible to use a floating IP for a one node cluster and enable auto-updates? Or have I to do it manually every time I want to update the cluster and reassign the floating IP manually?

Hi there !
As discussed in https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/how-to-reuse-do-loadbalancer-previously-created-through-kubernetes , does DO has a plan to support floating-ip with k8s loadbalancer type services? Basically, we need to have a static ip address for load-balancer type service of nginx ingress controller in k8s. This is needed so that even if the cases we remove and do a fresh install of nginx-controller on k8s, we don’t need to make changes to DNS records to update with the new service ip of load-balancer type.
