Thanks for the video jayesh😀. In order to use kong manager i exposed the admin to load balancer, and working fine... But its recommended to not expose admin to ELB, so how can i use kong manager if i keep admin as nodeport or clusterip. I have tried few ways but haven't succeeded. Please share an insight. Thanks 👍
