Sessions
Have you heard about Gateway API, but find yourself wondering how to start leveraging its benefits? Supported by over 25 implementations, Gateway API is the next generation of Kubernetes Networking APIs.
If you want to understand HOW and why to upgrade, this talk is for you.
In this session, Lior and Mattia, holding distinct leading roles in Gateway API development, will share their experience and embark on a complete, step-by-step, real-world migration from Ingress, and implementation-specific configurations to Gateway API. They’ll talk about decision factors, and when Gateway API can provide significant benefits over current deployments. They’ll focus on ingress2gateway and its pivotal role in the migration journey, and continue with common pitfalls and challenges where you’ll also find answers to questions like “How do I shift my DNS?” or “How to handle TLS configurations?”. Finally, you’ll learn how you can get involved, and how your voice can influence future development plans.
