Pull request overview

Migrates KOF’s north-south exposure from NGINX Ingress resources to Kubernetes Gateway API (HTTPRoute) and switches regional installation to Envoy Gateway, aligning with issue #775.

Changes:

  • Replace Ingress-based exposure (Grafana/Promxy/Dex/UI, VMAuth) with Gateway API HTTPRoute configuration across charts and demos.
  • Install Envoy Gateway (instead of ingress-nginx) in regional MultiClusterService flow and update dev/CI kind cloud provider versions.
  • Remove cluster-api-visualizer dependency/config and refresh related chart READMEs/locks.
