Maybe you’ve heard about Gateway API, and are wondering things like:
- What’s it all about?
- What’s the history of Gateway API and how is it different from Ingress?
- What’s the difference between Gateway API and an API Gateway?
In short, Gateway API is a portable, expressive, extensible, and role-oriented addition to Kubernetes. It describes exposing services outside of a cluster in a general way that can be handled by many different implementations⎯21 and counting!
In this session, we’ll discuss the answers to these questions and more!

Guests
Nick Young
Nick has been working to prevent the entropic downfall of systems for 25 years, across Windows and Linux, datacenters and clouds, networking, storage and compute. Currently he’s a Staff Engineer at Isovalent, and a maintainer on the Kubernetes Gateway API project, where in addition to his primary task of always having Simpsons quotes available, he works on improving the ingress and mesh experiences. He was a co-chair of the previous iteration of the Kubernetes LTS working group. In his spare time, he spends time with his young family, then with whatever’s left he works on maintaining his jack-of-all-geeks card. Random fact: he took notes at university in the Tengwar, Tolkien’s elvish script.
