Flexible IP not created

[MicheleSica]

Hello, Following the Scaleway IP documentation available at https://marketplace.upbound.io/providers/scaleway/provider-scaleway/v0.2.0/resources/flexibleip.scaleway.upbound.io/Ip/v1alpha1#doc , I created a flexible IP. However, the resource does not appear in the console despite the message indicating that it was requested successfully:

kubectl describe ip xxxxxx-flexible-ip

Events:

Do you have any suggestions?

A flexible IP is the naming of IPs bound to baremetal product (check Elastic Metal on console to see those IPs). Is that what you expected ? If what you want is IP for instances, you have to use instance IP: https://marketplace.upbound.io/providers/scaleway/provider-scaleway/v0.2.0/resources/instance.scaleway.upbound.io/IP/v1alpha1

Hello Codelax,

we need a public IP that we intend to assign to a LB

kind: LB
metadata:
  name: lb
spec:
  forProvider:
    ipIdRef:
      name: flexible-ip
    name: my-lb
    type: LB-S
  providerConfigRef:
    name: crossplane

Can we assign this object (https://marketplace.upbound.io/providers/scaleway/provider-scaleway/v0.3.0/resources/instance.scaleway.upbound.io/IP/v1alpha1) to a LB?

apiVersion: instance.scaleway.upbound.io/v1alpha1

kind: IP 

We tried to use this, but the resource status is stuck on pending:

PendingExternalResource Waiting for external resource existence to be confirmed

Could you kindly check?
