## What happened?

Hi,

I will migrate my Kubernetes cluster to v1.22 and to do so I need to fix the deprecated APIs one of them is [networking.k8s.io/v1beta1](https://networking.k8s.io/v1beta1) . I was reading the documentation and I came accross this changelog in Pomerium v0.17.3 " Added support for newer Ingress API versions e.g. [networking.k8s.io/v1](https://networking.k8s.io/v1) " which means I need to upgrade Pomerium.

The problem is I will be doing a large version jump because the current version of Pomerium installed is v0.5.0… and since then aloooot of things changed in Pomerium.

## Questions:

My questions are:

- How much of an impact can the latest version of Pomerium cause to my current architecture?

- I was reading the Pomerium documentation and compared to the git there are alot of components to configure such the databroker and other secrets(in the git repo), so I am kinda lost here.

- I believe I need to reinstall Pomerium and start anew, so I was wondering if there are any instructions to follow or things that I have to becareful and aware of before/when doing this large version upgrade?

## What’s your environment like?

- Pomerium version : v0.5.0
- Kubernetes version: 1.21.14-gke.3000

## Additional context

What we have now in our v0.5.0 Pomerium are:

- authentication service and deployment

- authorization service and deployment

- proxy service and deployment

- config.yaml

- idp\_secret , shared\_secret and cookie\_secret

- ingress.yaml where we have our backend services.
