Research direction

Start in internal/provider/load_balancer.go at EnsureLoadBalancer and compare its validation with the existing externalTrafficPolicy check. Trace how ipFamilies, ipFamilyPolicy, and the oxide.computer/floating-ip-version annotation are represented, then verify that unsupported dual-stack requests produce a clear error event rather than a single-family floating IP.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Bug Kubernetes Cloud Controller Manager (CCM)

Context

ipFamilies and ipFamilyPolicy are ignored by the load balancer implementation. A RequireDualStack service gets a single-family floating IP with no complaint — the CCM can only satisfy single-stack today (one floating IP per service).

Scope

Validate the service's IP family requirements in EnsureLoadBalancer (internal/provider/load_balancer.go) and reject configurations we can't satisfy (e.g., RequireDualStack), mirroring the existing externalTrafficPolicy check. Also consider consistency between ipFamilies and the oxide.computer/floating-ip-version annotation.

Done when

Dual-stack requests produce a clear error event instead of a silently wrong single-family IP.
