## Examples

    # loadbalancing 'ip-1.1.1.1'
    - ovh_ip_loadbalancing:
        name: ip-1.1.1.1
        backend: 212.1.1.1
        state: present
        probe: none
        weight: 8
        endpoint: ovh-eu
        application_key: yourkey
        application_secret: yoursecret
        consumer_key: yourconsumerkey

    # Removes a backend '212.1.1.1' from a loadbalancing 'ip-1.1.1.1'
