Exposing Service Mesh applications with Consul Ingress Gateways

[@nicoflaig6749]

In our current consul cluster we use nginx together with envoy and consul in the same docker image to route traffic into our cluster. What do you think about that approach and whats the current best practice?

That is not a bad option, you can terminate TLS on NGinx, then forward the backends in Nginx to listeners on the proxy. Nginx is super flexible and does way more than ingress gateways. But it depends on what your requirements are.

Nic you mentioned an alternative just in the end but I couldnt hear it. Which one is it?
