KIC conflicts with Cilium GatewayAPI

[dverzolla]

I have cilium installed as CNI, kube-proxy replacement and Gateway API. For north-south gateway I use kong, and for east-west I use cilium.

The kong ingress controller shows several errors trying to reconcile HTTPRoute. I would like to disable all gateway API functions of kong and let on cilium taking care of that. How to disable? I have read the helm values and didn't find anything related.

You can find the relevant configuration flags at https://docs.konghq.com/kubernetes-ingress-controller/latest/reference/cli-arguments/#flags.

The one you're looking for is: --enable-controller-gwapi-httproute.

That's the answer.
Have already tested and it's working.
Thanks @pmalek
