+= External load balancers that use pre-defined floating IP addresses
+
+Commonly, {rh-openstack-first} deployments disallow non-administrator users from creating specific floating IP addresses. If such a policy is in place and you use a floating IP address in your service specification, the cloud provider will fail to handle IP address assignment to load balancers.
+
+If you use an external cloud provider, you can avoid this problem by pre-creating a floating IP address and specifying it in your service specification. The in-tree cloud provider does not support this method. 
+
+Alternatively, you can link:https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6069071[modify the {rh-openstack} Networking service (Neutron) to allow non-administrator users to create specific floating IP addresses].
