Description

In order to achieve a smooth migration from Nginx to Ingress, we need to summarize the list of features/directives in nginx and how to convert them to Ingress model.

It would be better to have following items in the document:

  1. Nginx directive name (linked to its document)
  2. Priority (High, Medium, Low): The priority of implement the support to this directive
  3. Corresponding Ingress/Envoy configuration (linked to its document)
  4. How to convert

Contributor guide

Research direction
Create a comprehensive migration document mapping Nginx directives to Higress Ingress/Envoy configurations, including priority and conversion steps.
