Contour and Istio

This blueprint builds a data-path that consists of the following Kubernetes resources:

• A 'child' Gateway using the istio GatewayClass. This creates an Istio ingress gateway.
• An Ingress resource, which serves to 'simulate' a load-balancer. The Ingress resource use the ingress-class contour and forwards traffic to the Istio ingress gateway.
• A Certificate resource (a cert-manager CRD) to allow termination of HTTPS through the ingress.

This definition is provided in the following files:

gatewayclassblueprint-contour-istio-cert.yaml (with attached TLS certificate). gatewayclassblueprint-contour-istio.yaml (without attached TLS certificate) and in gatewayclassblueprint-contour-istio-values.yaml (RBAC for bifrost-gateway-controller Helm deployment suited for the contour-istio blueprint).
