Ask HN: Is there a more economical way to do ingress on GKE?

I am currently using the gke loadbalancer, and it is quite frustrating to see my burn rate for ingress nearly match my compute burn, just for two static sites. The key here is reliability, and kubernetes is the easiest way for me to achieve this. In the past, I have not been able to find a way to avoid this cost, and would dearly love to find a better solution that will work simply with the system.
