Getting Started with Kubernetes Gateway API and Traefik

Elevate your Kubernetes game with the Kubernetes Gateway API and Traefik, two game-changers for service exposure and routing!

Key points:

  • Understanding Ingress and Gateway API: Gateway API is the new standard for exposing services in Kubernetes, surpassing Ingress limitations.
  • Installing Traefik as a GatewayController: Install the latest version of Traefik on your Kubernetes cluster and enable the Gateway API provider.
  • Defining Your Installation Configuration: Customize your values to enable Traefik to discover Gateway API objects on your Kubernetes cluster.
  • Deploying Your First HTTPRoute: Expose a web server using a Gateway API HTTPRoute, which enables you to access the service via a custom hostname.
  • Going Beyond with Filters: Use Gateway API filters to perform various operations on requests and responses, such as adding headers or prefixes.
  • Debugging Issues with Traefik and the Gateway API: Troubleshoot common issues with Traefik and the Gateway API, including DNS resolution and logging.
