Gateway API: A New Set of Kubernetes APIs for Advanced Traffic Routing

on YouTube ↗32m

" summary

New Gateway API introduces Kubernetes resources that separate concerns into GatewayClass/Gateway/Route model so infra teams provision load‑balancer classes, cluster operators instantiate Gateways, and app teams control routing (HTTP/TCP/TLS) including header matching, traffic splitting (percentage or header‑based canaries like 10%), and multi‑cluster backends via ServiceExport/ServiceImport. Implementations already tested include Contour, Istio, Traefik, Kong and GKE; design adds core/extended/custom conformance levels, webhook validation and demoed working examples of portability and layered rollout without redeploying routes.
