Great point on GRPC having better support for event streaming! We originally built Infra to have a GRPC API, but many users we spoke to didn't yet have load balancers or ingress controllers that supported the GRPC protocol (e.g. one user had to consider upgrading their AWS Load Balancer controller to put Infra behind it).
We wanted to remove as many hurdles as possible for teams to deploy Infra in their environments. Event streaming will invariably become an important part of the API (e.g. for features like audit logs), and we'll consider GRPC again for internal components of Infra.
RE using Teleport without the proxy, how would a target cluster's Kubernetes API server (e.g. an EKS cluster) verify certificates without Teleport's proxy?
