Add docs for AWS LoadBalancers: use kubectl describe

Browse Source 
On AWS, we create ELBs for services with Type=LoadBalancer.

ELBs use hostnames, and the hostname is too long to fit in the output of
`kubectl get`.  So instead the user must do `kubectl describe service
<id>`.

The IP address in the `EXTERNAL_IP` column is the one that is available on the public internet. The `CLUSTER_IP` is only available inside your
cluster/private cloud network.
Note that on AWS, type `LoadBalancer` creates an ELB, which uses a (long)
hostname, not an IP. It's too long to fit in the standard `kubectl get svc`
output, in fact, so you'll need to do `kubectl describe service nginxsvc` to
see it. You'll see something like this:
```
> kubectl describe service nginxsvc

LoadBalancer Ingress: a320587ffd19711e5a37606cf4a74574-1142138393.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com

In order to access your nginx landing page, you also have to make sure that traffic from external IPs is allowed. Do this by opening a [firewall to allow traffic on port 80](services-firewalls.md).
If you're running on AWS, Kubernetes creates an ELB for you. ELBs use host
names, not IPs, so you will have to do `kubectl describe svc my-nginx` and look
for the `LoadBalancer Ingress` host name. Traffic from external IPs is allowed
automatically.

To kill the application and delete its containers and public IP address, do:
