Gateway Annotation

To support setups where an Ingress resource is used to provision an external LB you can add the following annotation to your Gateway

Note: The Ingress namespace can be omitted if its in the same namespace as the gateway

$ cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: gloo.solo.io/v1
kind: Proxy
metadata:
  labels:
    created_by: gloo-gateway
  name: gateway-proxy
  namespace: gloo-system

  listeners:
  - bindAddress: '::'
    metadataStatic:
      sources:
      - resourceKind: '*v1.Gateway'
        resourceRef:
          name: gateway-proxy
          namespace: gloo-system
