The Kubernetes Ingress Controller has long been the go-to for traffic management, a classic "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" solution. But as modern cloud-native applications grow more complex, Ingress’s annotation-driven nature reveals its limitations.

This talk will show you why both the Ingress Controller and the Kubernetes Gateway API (the new standard, offering a role-based and extensible approach to traffic management), have a place in your Kubernetes networking.

Using NGINX Open Source as a reference, let's challenge the fear that "fixing it will be expensive," and how tools like ingress2gateway and provider support make the migration simple. Join us to discover how to future-proof your traffic management.
