Kubernetes Service type LoadBalancer does not get external IP

I created a LKE Kubernetes cluster as part of the beta program, created LoadBalancer-type Service according to https://www.linode.com/docs/kubernetes/deploy-nodebalancers-with-linode-ccm/ and ran into a problem that the corresponding "NodeBalancer" gets created and receives traffic, but my Serivce resource does not receive it's public IP address, in kubectl get service it snows EXTERNAL-IP as <pending>. Is this a bug?

I wanted to troubleshoot the problem, but I don't see the Linode CCM running as a pod in the cluster (as mentioned in the above mentioned documentation). So I'm wondering where it is running, as the NodeBalancers are being created according to my Service resources.
