We have a team trying to setup or install an infinispan operator (the work Red Hat Data Grid was thrown around).
The infinispan operator expects loadbalancers to be up and running before it can start, see [1]. And I was told this [2] is where the code fails. # https://github.com/infinispan/infinispan-operator/blob/master/pkg/controller/infinispan/resources/config/config_controller.go#L76

One of my colleauges at Services Australia (not Red Hat) said this:It's looking for external ip or hostname of external loadbalancer service before reconciling. In our case ExternalIp will only be assigned after we have running app.There are multiple ways we can fix it * Update the go code

• Create a static ip and hostname

I am not sure if the team wants to do either of that because not only it can make the operator unsupported but also creates additional overhead for a clean repeatable install.
