+1, multi external url support with active health check and upstream node pass is the major block before we rollout Apisix ingress controller in all of our kubernetes clusters. It’s quite common for an organisation to expose services internally or externally in hybrid environment without the boundaries of kubernetes cluster concept, you can easily have your apps running in serverless platform, kubernetes cluster in cloud and in bare metal server on your on-premise data center.
GCP is also actively developing managed istio control plane called traffic director, it can be deployed anywhere and utilise envoy or any xDS v3 compatible data plane to satisfy the requirement we have. Ambassador also has a native CRD resoruce mapping to define your service with external url directly https://www.getambassador.io/docs/edge-stack/latest/topics/using/intro-mappings/#introduction-to-the-mapping-resource, the missing part if active health check no sure if it’s supported or not .https://github.com/emissary-ingress/emissary/issues/3761 Gloo Edge also supports native CRD to configure multi url with active health check and upstream node name passing feature we needed, example config could be found here https://gist.github.com/elvis-cai/d6978b1113edb10359da1358146f61aa.
