# Cloudeka Floating IP

The billing + tracking record for a **public IP** bound to one of your `Service`s of type `LoadBalancer`. It's created automatically, sharing the same name as the Service, once the platform's load balancer assigns an external IP — and removed automatically when the Service is deleted or changed away from `LoadBalancer`.

```bash
kubectl get cfip -n <your-namespace>
kubectl get cfip <service-name> -n <your-namespace> -o yaml
```

{% hint style="info" %}
The external IP is assigned **asynchronously** — right after creating a LoadBalancer Service, this object (and the IP) may take a moment to appear. Poll with `kubectl get svc <name> -w` until `EXTERNAL-IP` is populated, then check `cfip`.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Fully system-managed; follows the Service it mirrors. To release the IP and stop the charge, delete or retype the Service — not this object.
