Session Persistence with NGINX OSS vs NGINX Plus

Please use this template for troubleshooting questions.

We can see that in NGF 2.4.0 session persistence was made available for ip_hash in NGINX OSS and cookie-based sessionPersistence in NGINX Plus.

Is there an update to using cookie-based sessionPersistence in NGINX OSS?

This is in relation to our ingress-nginx migration for the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity: "cookie" and the multiple nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/session-cookie-* annotations you use with it.

Hi @beergeek303, please see my comment on a similar topic: updates about cookie session on NGINX OSS - #2 by sjberman

The added interest could influence us to implement this sooner rather than later, with the caveat that the API will be completely changed in the near future.

Thank you @sjberman , I missed that post. We will wait, we don’t need it that quickly.
