+# `LoadBalancer` of `type: Public`
+
+This example deploys a `LoadBalancer` of `type: Public` by selecting two target `NetworkInterface`s via a `networkInterfaceSelector` `metav1.LabelSelector`. These two `NetworkInterface`s are referencing to same `Network` and will be attached to two different `Machine`s.
+
+The following artifacts will be deployed in your namespace:   
+- IronCore `LoadBalancer`
+- IronCore `Network`, `NetworkInterface`s and `VirtualIP`s
+- IronCore `Machine`s 
+- IronCore `Volume`s
+- Secret containing the `ignition`  
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- [Butane](https://coreos.github.io/butane/)
+
+## Usage
+1. Adapt the `namespace` in `kustomization.yaml`
+2. Replace `your-user`, `your-pw-hash` and `your-ssh-key`s in the `ignition/ignition.yaml`
+3. Run `ignition/regenerate-ignition.sh`
+4. Create the below `patch-machine.yaml` in `loadbalancer-public` folder with the desired `machineClassRef`, `machinePoolRef`, `volumeClassRef`, `volumePoolRef`, `image` etc. as per your environment
+
+```

+metadata:
+  name: machine-sample
+spec:
+  machineClassRef:
+    name: new-machineClass
+  machinePoolRef:

+      volumeTemplate:
+        spec:
+          volumeClassRef:
+            name: new-volumeClass
+          volumePoolRef:
+            name: new-volumePool
+          image: gardenlinux:rootfs-dev-20231025
+          resources:
+            storage: 15Gi
+```
+
+5. Update the `kustomization.yaml` with below content
+```
+patches:
+- path: patch-machine.yaml
+```
+
+6. Run (`kubectl apply -k ./`)
