I'm currently running a Kubernetes cluster on a VM using VirtualBox and Vagrant, and I need to figure out how to assign an IP address to my LoadBalancer services so that I can access them from my host machine. In a cloud environment, it would be straightforward to create a load balancer and get an external IP, but I'm unsure how to achieve this locally. Any advice would be appreciated!

Cilium is another tool that can help with this. Do you already have an ingress set up? If yes, you can create a NodePort service or use MetalLB. If you're still getting things sorted out, don't forget that kubectl's port-forward command can be useful for quick access.
If you’re open to alternatives, consider using Nomad instead of Kubernetes. However, if you're sticking with K8s, keepalived could help you set up a floating IP on your ingress nodes.
You might want to check out MetalLB or LoxiLB. They’re both great solutions for providing LoadBalancer services locally. I personally had some luck with PureLB as well, just found it easier to set up.
