Current tracking list is out of date but the feature has been merged into master

Any idea when this will be available as a managed service for GKE?

[rramkumar1]

@mgoodness This will be shipping as part of our 1.7 release. We will be adding formal release notes shortly.

1.7 and 1.8 seem to be tagged now, but I cant find any information on how to use this functionality?

[inductor]

Same here. How can I exactly use this feature?

https://cloud.google.com/load-balancing/docs/l7-internal/set-up-gke-pods is not very imformative

You, probably, already find an answer, but someone who will ggl this topic may find the next link useful: Summary of internal Ingress annotations

@spencerhance Does the GKE cluster need to be a specific version to use this beta feature? I've followed the instructions, but the resources are never provisioned and there are no events when describing the resource.

[spencerhance]

@cnelson the minimum version is 1.16.0-gke.10 which means you must use rapid channel as per the documentation. Although the beta should be available in other channels in the coming weeks
