Hi @AlexPykavy. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

@AlexPykavy On AWS, the LB is a FQDN and not an ipaddress. Will this take care of that scene ?

@longwuyuan , I'm updating the documentation for the existing functionality and don't invent something new only but I'll try to answer to your question)

As Kubernetes docs states, loadBalancerIP service attribute is supported only for some cloud providers. For AWS, I found that it seems to be achieved by using annotations.

@ChiefAlexander, @cpanato, any comments?

• I read the stackoverflow link but I am not convinced that introduction of that file .gitattributes in this project has been tested, verified and that everyone feels confident that there will be no undesired result of adding that .gitattrinutes file. I would not want to risk it at this stage. Maybe after a proper review from @rikatz @strongjz @tao12345666333

• The intended addition of explicit content on a "internal" LB seems a improvement at first glance

• The thought process behind using a "internal" LB are far more detailed than a few simple lines. Beginning with the existence of the a "internal" and a "external" network, and the corresponding cloud-controller-manager possibilities, there is DNS mapping and so much more involved. I am not sure if this PR should limit itself to just adding one sentence on the topic, or if there should be proper full scope content related to a "internal" LB

• The helm chart README is autogenerated using the helm-docs tool. Description is here https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/blob/main/RELEASE.md#d-edit-the-valuesyaml-and-run-helm-docs . I am suspecting that the change committed here did not use the helm-docs tool. Should be a easy fox to use helm-docs

For some reason I faced the issue with automatic change of line encodings in the generated README.md file but I can't reproduce it now. Maybe it's my local issue with Git, VSCode or smth else. I just remember that having .gitattributes in the root of the repository should prevent changing EOL of the files already committed in the repo. So, I removed this for now.

I agree that giving more details is always better but external and internal terminology seems confusing because you can easily use default (external) service as internal one if you don't expose LB to the global by settings the appropriate annotations. We could just name the services first and second and get exactly the same behavior.

I used the tool but I did it on Windows and got some extra whitespace characters. Then I tried it inside the Docker container and it worked fine, so the committed docs are autogenerated as expected.
