I need to move off ingress-nginx because it's mothballed. I'm already using #Cilium for CNI, so I figured I'd switch to that. Yesterday was discovering that Cilium's gateway api implementation doesn't play nice with MetalLB. I figured that as Cilium BGP control plane can perform the same function, I might as well simplify a bit and replace MetalLB, so I did that this evening. Went pretty smoothly (except for a *weird* choice they made in their API wrt selectors, but at least it's documented) so I went back to try the service I was experimentally moving to gateway API. But it turns out that it doesn't support filters yet so I can't migrate the integrated authentication 😭 Looks like it's been on the todo list for a few years without moving, so it's a tossup now whether to wait a couple of releases to see if it shows up, or use something else. #kubernetes

@mattb your “#kubernetes” is a fine tonal summary of my experience. It feels wrapped in sighs.
