I ran into some trouble getting an external ip address after posting the following json object (variables excluded):

$json= '{
          "kind": "Service",
          "apiVersion": "v1",
          "metadata": {
            "name": ""
          },
          "spec": {
            "ports": [{
              "port": 80,
              "targetPort": 80
            }],
            "selector": {
              "app": ""
            },
            "type": "LoadBalancer"
          }
}';

The service is created but no external ip is ever given.

Unable to determine where the issue lay, I proceeded to install a clean copy of kubernetes (and the cluster it is defined to install) using the following command provided in the documentation (V1 kubernetes/examples/simple-nginx.md):

curl -sS https://get.k8s.io | bash

This of course set things up automatically. I then ran the following commands to test if the LoadBalancer function was working:

kubectl run my-nginx --image=nginx --replicas=2 --port=80

After running kubectl get pods to confirm that they were ready, I exposed the service:

kubectl expose rc my-nginx --port=80 --type=LoadBalancer

I then ran kubectl get service for the past few minutes, and no public ip is being provided..

That cant be right?

EDIT

kubectl get services

After running (Thanks GameScripting):

kubectl describe service my-nginx

I saw the following error:
