Great article Matt_Dierick . Another good question is if you can send traffic to a not public application without public ip address that is connected with a CE Edge using Nginx on RE as using Nginx on CE with vK8s will solve this but I wonder if there is a way to use the NGINX on the RE and then forward traffic to the CE Edge.

Maybe if an LB is created on the local CE node and NGINX has in the server farm the LB ip address that on the CE but I never tested this if traffic will be forwarded from the RE to the CE using the IPsec tunnel.
