Load balancer

In NodePort every Node get an ip (minikube is a single local Node) .
I can access every node by it's IP even if it's an duplicate (replica) of another one , if we assume we have an big software , it's illogical to use many ips for our software.
The solution is to use a LoadBalancer.

LoadBalancer create an external ip can drive us to any pod what ever the node it's inside of it.
LoadBalancer is good for big softwares , but not very very big software with many services every external IP address we pay for it so we can use Ingress , the Ingress do LoadBalaning for all the services.

This is an look at LoadBalancer , we just put the type to LoadBalancer.
