To provision a AWS NLB to be reconciled by AWS LBC controller(instead of in-tree legacy controller) using Gateway resource

[mithunkrb]

With service as a Load Balancer, there are annotation to be used to deploy a AWS NLB (reconciled by latest AWS LBC https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/aws-load-balancer-controller/v2.7/guide/service/annotations/#lb-type) which is recommended way by AWS to deploy a Load Balancer.
Example annotations:
service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-attributes: load_balancing.cross_zone.enabled=true
service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-scheme: "internet-facing"
service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-type: "external"

However, when using Gateway resource in Kong with KIC, same annotations has no effect instead its deploying classic load balancer itself. Could you please help with the parameters or annotations to be used with Gateway resource when using Kong with KIC to deploy AWS NLB to be reconciled by latest AWS LBC ?

Note: Classic load balancer which is reconciled by in-tree legacy controller is not recommended by AWS anymore as it has become previous generation LB.
