Install `metallb` from `operators` train first. There is no config, so just hit save.
If you previously had `metallb` installed and are attempting to upgrade, follow the steps specified below in [Migrating an existing MetalLB config to operator-based version](#migrating-an-existing-metallb-config-to-operator-version)

- **Name**: Enter a general name for this IP range. Something like _apps_ or _charts_ for this field is fine.
- **Auto Assign**: if you want MetalLB Services to auto-assign IPs from the configured address pool without needing to specify per app. Recommendation is to keep this checked. You can still specify an IP for apps as needed (see step 3).

With MetalLB installed, its is recommended (but optional) to specify IP addresses for your apps.
For each app, under **Networking and Services**, select `LoadBalancer` Service Type for the Main Service.
In the **LoadBalancer IP** field, specify an IP address that is within the MetalLB address pool that you configured. Apply the same IP address to the **LoadBalancer IP** field on other services within the app.
