The Kubernetes Ingress resource helps developers make their services accessible, but its limitations require reliance on separate Ingress controllers and proprietary annotations. This creates compatibility issues and maintenance challenges. The Kubernetes Gateway API addresses these limitations by providing a vendor-neutral architecture that simplifies ingress management. It introduces essential components like GatewayClass and protocol-specific Route CRDs, allowing for straightforward configuration of complex routing without annotations. The Gateway API aims to improve collaboration among DevOps and developers by standardizing ingress capabilities and minimizing fragmentation across different implementations.
The Kubernetes Gateway API is introduced as a next-generation solution that overcomes the limitations of Native Ingress by standardizing capabilities without vendor-specific annotations.
The Gateway API allows complex ingress routing to be achieved through a vendor-neutral approach, enhancing accessibility and maintainability for services and APIs in Kubernetes.
By utilizing GatewayClass, Gateway, and various protocol-specific Routes, the Gateway API simplifies the management of ingress resources for DevOps and developers.
Overseen by Kubernetes SIG Network, the Gateway API addresses the challenges posed by proprietary annotations that complicate use across multiple teams.
