Could you share which version of NGINX you found the issue with the reloads? Which version the fix was released?
PS.: I find it interesting/brave that you use a single cluster for several environments.
I'm using 0.9.0-beta.13. I first reported this issue in a NGINX ingress PR[1], so the last couple of releases are not suffering from the bug I reported in the blog post.
> I find it interesting/brave that you use a single cluster for several environments.
I'm not working for a big corporation, so dev/staging/prod "environments" are just three deployment pipelines to the same infrastructure.
As of now, things are running smoothly as they are, but I might as well use different clusters for each environment in the future.
