Should be able to grab the loadBalancerIp when using `type: "LoadBalancer"`

[Sleepful]

I had to do this and it took me too much time to figure out 😅

At the very least, this sample should be easy to find in the docs.

Even better would be to grab the IP from a property of the Release object, but it does not seem to be there.

import { interpolate, Output } from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes";

const ingressNginx = new k8s.helm.v3.Release(
  "nginx-ingress",
  {
    chart: "ingress-nginx",
    version: "4.2.0",
    repositoryOpts: {
      repo: "https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx",
    },
    values: {
      controller: {
        publishService: {
          enabled: true,
        },
        service: {
          type: "LoadBalancer",
        },
      },
    },
    // namespace: nsBe.metadata.name,
    skipAwait: false
  },
  {
    provider,
    // deleteBeforeReplace: true
  }
);


  const serviceFQN = interpolate`${ingressNginx.id}-ingress-nginx-controller`
  // serviceFQN.apply(r => console.log(r))
  const ingressCtrlSvc = k8s.core.v1.Service.get("ingress-ctrl-svc",
    serviceFQN,
    { dependsOn: ingressNginx }
  );

  // ingressCtrlSvc.spec.apply(r => console.log(r))
  // ingressCtrlSvc.status.loadBalancer.ingress.apply(r => console.log(r))
  return ingressCtrlSvc.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip

Thanks for the feature request, we'll look into adding this work in the future.

@Sleepful any chance you would be willing to put in a PR for examples?

[Sleepful]

@rshade sure thing, any particular directory in which the example should be placed such that it shows in the online documentation?

Oh yeah, it won't automatically be added to the docs but you could put it in examples, probably just a clone of: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-kubernetes-ingress-nginx/tree/master/examples/simple-nginx-ts, since it uses nodeport to be compatible with Kind for github actions.
