I'm flabbergasted.

I have a staging and production environment. Both environments have the same deployments, services, ingress, firewall rules, and both serve a 200 on /.

However, after turning on the staging environment and provisioning the same ingress, the staging service fails with Some backend services are in UNKNOWN state. Production is still live.

Both the frontend and backend pods are ready on GKE. I've manually tested the health checks and they pass when I visit /.

I see nothing in the logs or gcp docs pointing in the right direction. What could I have possibly broken?
