OVERVIEW:
Release 1.7.0-rc1 includes:
- Support for TCP, UDP, and TLS Passthrough load balancing with the new configuration resources: TransportServer and GlobalConfiguration. The resources allow users to deliver complex, non-HTTP-based applications from Kubernetes using the NGINX Ingress Controller.
- Support for error pages in VirtualServer and VirtualServerRoute resources. A user can now specify custom error responses for errors returned by backend applications or generated by NGINX, such as a 502 response.
- Improved validation of VirtualServer and VirtualServerRoute resources. kubectl and the Kubernetes API server can now detect violations of the structure of VirtualServer/VirtualServerRoute resources and return an error.
