The official HCP doc states;

"On the Networking page, you select an API server publishing strategy. The API server for the hosted cluster can be exposed either by using an existing load balancer or as a service of the NodePort type. A DNS entry must exist for the api.${HOSTED_CLUSTER_NAME}.${BASEDOMAIN} setting that points to the destination where the API server can be reached. This entry can be a record that points to one of the nodes in the management cluster or a record that points to a load balancer that redirects incoming traffic to the Ingress pods."

Is not the statement " incoming traffic to the Ingress pods.? " wrong ? Should not it be either node port IPs or metallb lb frontend IP ?
