Description Eric Rich 2016-11-22 17:31:04 UTC
Document URL: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.3/admin_guide/tcp_ingress_external_ports.html#admin-guide-unique-external-ips-ingress-traffic

Section Number and Name: [New] Configuring an Ingress IP for a Service _on [GCE|AWS|Azure|OpenStack]

Describe the issue: We explicitly call out in our docs: 

> Ingress IPs can only be assigned if the cluster is not running in the cloud. In cloud environments, LoadBalancer-type services configure cloud-specific load balancers.

This means that the examples provided in our docs, don't work for/on cloud providers, and due to this limitation there is a perception that the product does not work on such providers. 

Suggestions for improvement: Because of this, we need to better call out how to deploy such "cloud-specific load balancers" for use as an ingress router on openshift.

Tracking this in https://github.com/openshift/openshift-docs/pull/7226

The information already exists in the newer version of the docs. Updated docs to mark the note with required information as important and removed the old note.
