Answer 1

The LoadBalancer ServiceType will only work if the underlying infrastructure supports the automatic creation of Load Balancers and have the respective support in Kubernetes, as is the case with the Google Cloud Platform and AWS. If no such feature is configured, the LoadBalancer IP address field is not populated and still in pending status , and the Service will work the same way as a NodePort type Service
