Goodbye Ingress - Hello Gateway API

on YouTube ↗37m

" summary

Gateway API replaces Ingress with concrete resources: Gateway class deployed by Cilium, a Gateway (LoadBalancer IP assigned) and HTTP/TLS/GRPC/TCP/UDP routes. Demo shows cert-manager issuing a wildcard TLS via cert-manager, an HTTP route that returns a 301 to HTTPS and a working 50/50 traffic split between two service backends. Observability uses Hubble to trace requests. Cilium’s native routing and eBPF yields about a 25% throughput gain. Notes mention Envoy ARM build issues and occasional 503s when colocated.
