Gateway API improves networking and connectivity in Kubernetes
At the KubeCon NA 2023 conference this week, developers celebrated the general availability (GA) of the Gateway API, which literally opens up a new gateway to how Kubernetes networking and connectivity will be enabled in the future. Gateway API is intended to replace the Ingress API, which has long been one of the primary ways that a cloud native environment gains access to services outside of a cluster. Gateway API aims to solve numerous shortcomings in Ingress API and already benefits from the broad participation of many vendors.
