Hi,
is there work now or in the future to be able to use 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 use with it.
Could anyone please let us know when we can expect this release for NGINX OSS, or at least provide an approximate time for the release.
actully we were waiting this release for our project migration to gateway api 
Hi @Anurag_NP,
The Gateway API is currently undergoing an overhaul of its existing experimental Session Persistence API. We support this API (which lives in an HTTPRoute Rule) for NGINX Plus, however we added this support before this API started being reconsidered.
We are hesitant to add NGINX OSS support for the existing API because it will inevitably be removed and break our users.
We have an open issue to track the upstream progress so that we can inherit it once ready and implement on our side. I’m not sure what the timeline is on this yet.
As mentioned in a comment on that issue though, if this is significant enough for our users to need right now, and you are okay with the fact that the existing API will eventually be removed in favor of a new one, then we can discuss prioritizing OSS support for the current API.
