Contour, a High Performance Multitenant Ingress Controller for Kubernetes

on YouTube ↗35m

" summary

Contour is a high-performance, multitenant Kubernetes ingress control plane that configures Envoy and demonstrably routes HTTP traffic by GatewayClass/Gateway/HTTPRoute rules — the live demo sends requests to two services using path and header matches. The project moves config into a CRD, intends to manage Envoy fleet instead of requiring separate DaemonSets, and shifts to quarterly releases with three-version support (≈nine months of fixes). Roadmap targets include Gateway API v1alpha2 support, ALS/tracing, and CNCF graduation.
