In order to deploy Swimlane with High Availability, the `ha` flag must be used during the initial installation.

This can also be set by adding `HACluster: true` (under the kubernetes spec) to the installer-override.yaml patch file `spec:` section.

During initial installation, the Swimlane Platform Installer will prompt you to set a Load Balancer Address.

This can also be set by adding `loadBalancerAddress: "<Load Balancer FQDN or IP>:6443"` (under the kubernetes spec) to the installer-override.yaml patch file `spec:` section.
