The Gateway API was Introduced to Kubernetes in 2019. The project is making steady progress toward becoming the single expressive API for inbound traffic that is portable, extensible, and role-oriented, with over 20 implementations and multiple objects making it to GA recently. This session is about exploring what’s happening in the project. What is the state of the API and the various implementations? We will also cover the GAMMA initiative, which uses the Gateway API as a standard way to describe East-West traffic (AKA mesh traffic).
