# The manifest below setups up a simple upload server behind gke ingress. Easiest to test from Cloud Shell or another GCE VM
# But there does seem to be a timeout/slowloris mitigation so testing with real world upload speeds is also recommended
# Also, the "right" way to do this is chunked uploads and/or direct to GCS signed URLs.
# But so far I don't see a reason why GCLB HTTPS LBs wouldn't work
