Guide to Best Practices for Adopting Kubernetes Gateway API

Best Practices for Adopting Kubernetes Gateway API

Kubernetes Ingress has a lot of limitations. Ingress controllers use their vendor-specific annotations to overcome the limitations and extend the capacity of Ingress. However, this led to a lack of standardization and portability.

Kubernetes Gateway API is a collection of resources that helps to standardize the specifications for implementing Gateway/Ingress rules in Kubernetes. The Gateway API resources help DevOps and architects configure basic to advanced networking rules in K8s without relying on vendor-specific CRDs and annotations.
