How can we migrate these nginx ingress controller changes to istio ingress gateway.

Answer 1

You can refer to the Kubernetes controller for Elastic Load Balancers annotations section where you can conclude the analogy between nginx ingress controller and istio ingress gateway annotations.

The section has a curated and exhaustive list of all possible anntotions to use in your istio ingress gateway.

For instance you can use alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect to enable SSLRedirect and specify the SSL port that redirects to, etc.
