An Introduction To The Kubernetes Gateway Api With Apache APISIX

Navendu Pottekkat: Apache APISIX, Committer, Navendu Pottekkat is a maintainer of Apache APISIX and related open source projects. He helps new contributors to open source by mentoring through the Google Summer of Code and Linux Foundation Mentorship Program. Navendu writes and talks about the cloud native ecosystem and his experience in contributing to, building, scaling, and maintaining open source projects.

Why do you need another API to handle external traffic when you have the stable Kubernetes Ingress API and dozens of implementations? What problems of the Ingress API does the new Gateway API solve? Does this mean the end of the Ingress API?
In this short talk, Navendu will answer these questions by exploring how Gateway APIs evolved and solved the shortcomings of the Ingress API with hands-on examples using Apache APISIX.
Attendees will learn about the new Gateway API and how they can implement feature-rich, extensible, vendor-neutral gateways to their Kubernetes clusters with Apache APISIX.
