Summary

  • The BYOC-on-AWS installation requirements said "CIDR-based access controls will be available in a future release." That's no longer accurate — the original ingress-nginx-based implementation doesn't survive the move to Gateway API + dual load balancers, and there's no committed timeline for a replacement.
  • Replaced the promise with the current, factual state and pointed customers at AWS-native alternatives (security groups / VPC network ACLs) for IP-based access restriction.

Context: came up in an internal thread re-evaluating IP-restriction support for a BYOC customer; confirmed with Provecho that the original approach is no longer valid.

Test plan

  • yarn build not required (single-page content change, no links/anchors touched)
  • Doc review for tone/terminology per STYLE_GUIDE.md

CIDR-based ingress filtering isn't on the roadmap in its previously
scoped form; point customers at AWS-native network controls instead.

This requires the customer to modify aws resource configuration. In other sections we mentioned that we dont support this. Are we ok with changing this?
