Ingress controllers have served Kubernetes well for years, but with ingress-nginx now being end-of-life, many teams are re-evaluating their north-south traffic strategy. This is a good moment to move to the Kubernetes Gateway API. kgateway implements Gateway API model with Envoy as the data plane. This post walks through installing kgateway, exposing a sample app, and applying Thalassa-specific load balancer settings as a future-proof alternative to legacy Ingress-based setups. For the full command reference and troubleshooting section, see the Gateway API with kgateway guide in our documentation.
