So we use FYS, our load balancer, and LPM, that's what we use it for. So a lot of our applications in our data centers are behind this.

The TLS termination is one of them and then URL rewriting is another. So those two things actually do very well.

So I would like the authentication authorization to be part of the main product and a way of using APL to configure this particular product so that we can open it for our DevOps guys to just configure it.
And better integration with Kubernetes is another thing that we would like.

So positive impact is that it actually is a central location. A central point of thing that provides. It provides a TLS termination. So all our traffic actually goes through that. So that is good. The negative is that it is a single point of failure, so if it fails, it fails.

Not sure

Yes

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Yes

So it is well suited for load balancing and less suited for integration with Kubernetes. It is less suited today, so that is the feature we want.
