NGINX as a Kubernetes Ingress Controller
NGINX provides Kubernetes ingress using the older Kubernetes Ingress API which has been superseded by the Kubernetes Gateway API. The Gateway API aims to enhance the configuration and management of Kubernetes ingress, service discovery, load balancing, and traffic routing by providing a unified and extensible API that integrates with Kubernetes’ native resources such as Services, Endpoints, and Ingresses. Envoy Gateway is the most advanced implementation of the Gateway API.
