Support for the use of cipher suites with load balancers provisioned by Kubernetes Engine

When OCI Kubernetes Engine provisions an OCI load balancer for a Kubernetes service of type LoadBalancer, you can now specify the cipher suites to use with the load balancer's listener and backend set.

Cipher suites determine the security, compatibility, and speed of HTTPS traffic. To specify the cipher suite to use with the listener and the backend set, you add different annotations to the load balancer manifest.
