Gateway API: The new Kubernetes Ingress that Unifies Load Balancing and Network Configs

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

Gateway API claims to replace Ingress limitations with GatewayClass/Gateway/Route resources that map to real roles (platform admin vs service owner), support cross-namespace routing, header-based canaries and weighted traffic splitting, and plug into existing infra like GKE Gateway controller plus Cloud Load Balancer, Cloud Armor and Certificate Manager. Gateway API graduated to beta July 2022, GKE controller is GA for single-cluster (Dec 2022) with multi-cluster preview, and 22 prior Ingress implementations motivated the change.
