This will allow additional controllers, i.e. GatewayClass, to be added. - The Contour `GatewayClassRef` [PR](https://github.com/projectcontour/contour-operator/pull/182) is ready for review. This is needed to allow the `Contour` custom resource to be used as a GatewayClass parametersRef. - A WIP [branch](https://github.com/danehans/contour-operator/tree/wip_svc_apis_impl) that implements GatewayClass. - Operator update [danehans] - Ready for v1.12 release. The release will include support for: - __Ownership Labeling:__ The operator to only manage resources that include the Contour Operator name/namespace labels. This will ensure the operator does not unintendedly manage existing resources and provides a mechanism to migrate existing Contour installs to being operator managed. - __Network Publishing Support:__ Users can now manage network configuration through the Contour API. For example, a user can provision a Contour environment where Envoy uses a non-default container port or is front-ended by a NodePort service. Currently, the API is restricted to managing Envoy network seetings, but is designed to support COntour in the future. # January 26, 2021 - ## What have we been working on? - [stevek] - local rate limiting has merged for 1.12 - working on global rate limiting for 1.13 - release blog post - [stevesloka] Service-APIs Initial Work - https://github.com/projectcontour/contour/pull/3273 - https://github.com/projectcontour/contour/pull/3275 - [stevesloka] IngressV1 - https://github.com/projectcontour/contour/pull/3266 - [danehans] - Pushing contour operator [PRs](https://github.com/projectcontour/contour-operator/pulls) forward. - [sunjayBhatia] additional load balancing options based on request attributes (design [here](https://github.com/projectcontour/contour/pull/3268)) - ## Discussion - [danehans] Are ContainerPort [defaults](https://github.com/projectcontour/contour-operator/pull/151) acceptible? # January 19, 2021 - ## What have we been working on? - [stevek] local rate limiting PR: https://github.com/projectcontour/contour/pull/3251 - [youngnick] Service APIs design PR: https://github.com/projectcontour/contour/pull/3213 - that led to Multiple Listeners design PR: https://github.com/projectcontour/contour/pull/3263 - [danehans]- Contour Operator Service APIs design: https://github.com/projectcontour/contour-operator/pull/171 - - ## Process stuff - Apology about missing some process for Alex - ## Discussion - [ccravens] UDP support?
