Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/1570

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I plan to switch to netbird as of my default VPN in my homelab, if the product meets all my need, there is still a major issue. Netbird lacks a Kubernetes integration to easily expose services... to netbird network

Describe the solution you'd like

Warning

I'm not asking for a way to deploy netbird on Kubernetes, but rather a way to automatically connect it to netbird

I would like a Kubernetes operator, when a network resource is created and setup accordingly, connects automatically services to netbird network for further access. In a perfect world, this would be nice to be able to expose apps with TLS certificates that are already trusted / managed by netbird in order to easily and securely expose apps

Describe alternatives you've considered
As of today, the feature I asked for, is already implemented in Tailscale in 1:1 manner under the Tailscale Kubernetes Operator

This should be possible now via the Kubernetes operator:
