I have a service with type: Loadbalancer that I deploy with Skaffold. The service creates fine, the load balancer shows as healthy on the GCP console, but when I do kubectl get svc the External IP address never gets resolved and is stuck in <pending>. Everything works if I deploy same service using kubectl apply.

I actually have this on video as well: https://youtu.be/JUFIF9QMN9M?t=1630

This has happened multiple times with multiple clusters, projects, and services. @ahmetb is experiencing the same issue as well.

Right now, I'm thinking there is something Skaffold does to the service (labels?) which is preventing the service from getting the external IP address.

Information

• Skaffold version: v.0.11.0
