 `preserve` | [bool](#annotation-bool-values) | `false` | When `true`, deleting a `LoadBalancer` service does not delete the underlying NodeBalancer. This will also prevent deletion of the former LoadBalancer when another one is specified with the `nodebalancer-id` annotation.

-`hostname-only-ingress` | [bool](#annotation-bool-values) | `false` | When `true`, the LoadBalancerStatus for the service will only contain the Hostname. This is useful for bypassing kube-proxy rerouting in-cluster requests originally to the external LoadBalancer to the service's constituent pod IPs.
