Gateway API: Beta to GA

on YouTube ↗43m

" summary

Gateway API graduates core pieces—GatewayClass, Gateway, and HTTPRoute—to Beta as a CRD-based official Kubernetes API with webhook validation, requiring installing CRDs (not bundled in kube) and a conformance test suite. It already has 70+ contributors and about 15 implementations, supports advanced HTTP matching, header rewrites, filters and policy attachment, and keeps cross-namespace references behind a reference-policy alpha. v0.5.0 ships soon and conformance proves portability across implementations.
