Nginx Gateway Fabric setting Up Cache or Buffering

[moriisaac]

How Can I enable or set Cache or Buffering or the below on k8s gateway api using nginx gateway fabric as the controller, # Streaming configuration
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_cache off;
proxy_read_timeout 1h;
chunked_transfer_encoding on;

        # Additional optimizations
        tcp_nodelay on;
        keepalive_timeout 300;

Hi @moriisaac,

A few of these options are set by default, such as

proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";

If you're trying to set keepalive_timeout for the client -> nginx connection, you can use the ClientSettingsPolicy API. If you're trying to set keepalive_timeout for the nginx -> upstream connection, we have an UpstreamSettingsPolicy that is currently in the edge release, but will be officially released in v1.6.0 in a few weeks.

Others may be set by using the SnippetsFilter API. Eventually we'll have more first-class policies to support some of the more popular use cases and directives so that you don't need to use snippets, such as proxy buffering.

Let me know if this helps you!

Hey @moriisaac, what kind of traffic are you configuring these directives for? Are you unable to get traffic into your cluster properly without them, or is it more about optimization?
