What would you like to be added
Add the BGP control-plane routing to the Cilium CNI. The current working solution is deprecated which involves MetalLB BGP control-plane and thus one needs to send the BGP announcements from Cilium to MetalLB. The new goBGP solution will allow this without the need for MetalLB and by using the type LoadBalancer to expose pods and services to external BGP routes.
Note that for the goBGP control-plane to work, one must disable the MetalLB control-plane.
Why is this needed
The MetalLB BGP integration with Cilium is being deprecated and for now only security updates are being pushed. It can provide a simplified way to integrate clusters running Cilium with existing BGP infrastructure and spine routers.
