I'm in the process of switching my ingress controller due to some recent changes, but I'm facing challenges in deciding what to transition to. I have specific requirements that involve using Cilium as my CNI and Istio for service mesh functionality. I need an ingress controller that can handle nodePort in a similar way to NGINX by using hostname routing. I initially experimented with Gateway-API, but without a VIP for support, I've been trying to configure an Istio gateway with nodePort, and I'm struggling to get the pod to respond to traffic for the service. I'm starting to wonder if that's even feasible. What options should I consider? Traefik is next on my radar as a potentially viable solution.

I'd recommend looking into Cilium for your ingress. It's worth a shot! Plus, it integrates well with your current requirements. Take your time to explore it thoroughly before making any big changes.
I’ll definitely look into Cilium ingress options. I want to make sure I’m fully informed before I switch everything around.
