Ingress NGINX to "Retire" in Four Months: Global Users Panic Amid 1

Take a typical example: Ingress NGINX allows users to directly add arbitrary NGINX configurations (snippets) through annotations. This was considered an advantage of flexibility in the past, but now it has become a security black hole. Such features fundamentally undermine the "configuration security boundary," making the NGINX runtime almost uncontrollable. In today's context of increasingly strict cloud-native security standards, this is already an "unacceptable level" of design. And there are more than just one such feature. As the user base has grown, these historical burdens have gradually accumulated into technical debt that is difficult to fix. Of course, if a project is complex but has a 20-person team to maintain it, it can still function. However, Ingress NGINX only has 1 - 2 maintainers, who can only spare time in their free time to do the maintenance.
