Manage authentication at API gateway level #11

Open AlbertoArdu opened 4 years ago

AlbertoArdu commented 4 years ago

Would it be possible to manage the authentication at the API gateway level, leveraging the Cognito service and then forward the request to the application after an access control?

An alternative would be to configure this behaviour manually, and in the controller use an existing API gateway instance, instead of letting it create a new one.

I stumble upon the same issue, I've forked and eliminated Auth on the APIG by default: you can compile it at: https://github.com/branst/amazon-apigateway-ingress-controller
