When you create an AKS cluster in basic networking, Azure will provision a load balancer called kubernetes in a dedicated resource group. When we create a service with a LoadBalancer type, AKS will provision a frontend IP and link to the service object automatically. This is how we could access nginx using external IPs earlier in this chapter. There are a set of annotations you can set in your service, and the Azure cloud controller will provision it based on the specified annotations. You can find a list of supported annotations here: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/pkg/cloudprovider/providers/azure/azure_loadbalancer.go.
