Hey everyone!
I'm working on setting up a basic private cluster using IONOS's managed Kubernetes service, and I'm trying to implement a LoadBalancer with this command: `kubectl expose deployment test --target-port=9376 --name=test-service --type=LoadBalancer`. However, the status keeps showing as pending, which leads me to think that they might not actually support LoadBalancers. Am I missing something here? I'm planning to use the Traefik ingress controller, but I figured starting small would be best. If LoadBalancer support isn't available, would using MetalLB be a good alternative? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Honestly, I recommend moving away from IONOS if you can. Their managed Kubernetes service isn't great based on what I've tried with various European providers. StackIT could be a better option if you're based in Germany.
Just a heads-up: if you set up a managed cluster with a "private" node pool, LoadBalancer services won't work since those nodes aren't exposed to the internet. You might need to rethink your setup there.
