03/27/2025, 1:56 AMHas anyone tried getting GCP load balancer working with Flyte? I had a hard time finding code samples. I found this in Flytekit but they're using Istio. I'm trying to see if there's a way to just configure the ingress without Istio.

03/27/2025, 10:49 AMThe thing that you will need is to have a backend behing the GCE load balancer that serves with TLS (because grpc needs http2 and google load balancers require TLS between load balancer and backend for this).

03/27/2025, 10:50 AMIf you don’t want istio, you could put an nginx deployment into the flyte namespace as a reverse proxy. The GCE load balancer then does TLS with the nginx.
