-On **Azure**, if you want to use a user-specified public type `loadBalancerIP`, you first need

+The`.spec.loadBalancerIP` field for a Service was deprecated in Kubernetes v1.24.

+This field was under-specified and its meaning varies across implementations. It also cannot support dual-stack networking. This field may be removed in a future API version.

+If you're integrating with a provider that supports specifying the load balancer IP address(es)
+for a Service via a (provider specific) annotation, you should switch to doing that.
+	
+If you are writing code for a load balancer integration with Kubernetes, avoid using this field.
+You can integrate with [Gateway](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/) rather than Service, or you
+can define your own (provider specific) annotations on the Service that specify the equivalent detail.
