The article discusses the Kubernetes Ingress resource, which connects external requests to services within Kubernetes clusters. While Native Ingress facilitates basic routing, its limitations prompt developers to rely on vendors for Ingress controllers, leading to compatibility issues. This challenge is exacerbated by proprietary annotations used to extend Ingress functionalities, complicating maintenance efforts for teams. The Kubernetes Gateway API proposes a solution, providing a standardized, vendor-neutral approach that enables complex routing configurations without additional annotations, thus simplifying the ingress management process.
The Kubernetes Gateway API addresses the lack of standardization with Ingress and the proliferation of vendor-specific annotations. The next-generation Ingress offers sophisticated functionality without needing extra annotations.
Only the path and host specified in the request can grant access to services via Native Ingress. DevOps and developers need Ingress controllers for sophisticated traffic routing.
