Regex restriction on ADVERTISED_HOST_NAME prevents AWS ELB usage

[neverfox]

Because the script requires a simple IP address, you cannot use something like xxxxxxxxxxxxx.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com for the advertised host name.

Do you mean that your "status.podIP" from POD defenitiin resolved to DNS or you set it manually?

Manually, as an alternative to using podIP, when I want to interact with kafka from the outside on an AWS deployment. In those cases, I have to make the service a LoadBalancer (ELB) and clients like Kafkcat require the advertised host name to be internet-facing. So I was following the trick where I create the service, copy down the ingress, and paste it into the deployment yaml.
