Kubernetes releases ingress2gateway tool for upcoming GA of Gateway API

I've not used Gateway, but I have felt the pain and confusion of Ingress. Hopefully this simplifies things for our Devops/SRE heroes.

Since it makes no mention of ipv4 or ipv6 I&#x27;m going to hope it&#x27;s underlying ip protocol agnostic and works in the UDP&#x2F;TCP level only, which would encompass all TLS and QUIC behaviours too.<p>Past experience with k8s suggests this hope is prone to being wishful thinking.

Welp, I wonder when this will make sense to look at -- I&#x27;m pretty happy with `IngressRoute`[0] and related CRDs that are used with traefik.<p>I guess when traefik goes all-in on gateway (they were one of the earliest with support for it), then it will make sense.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;doc.traefik.io&#x2F;traefik&#x2F;routing&#x2F;providers&#x2F;kubernetes-crd&#x2F;#kind-ingressroute" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;doc.traefik.io&#x2F;traefik&#x2F;routing&#x2F;providers&#x2F;kubernetes-...</a>

Tools like istio provide this sort of functionality currently, right? Does this adding anything to that?<p>I wonder how developers will be able to develop extensions for it.

every day, kubernetes strays further from god&#x27;s light

I hate when open source projects (especially common in the Kube-sphere I feel) adopt these super buzzwordy roles in their announcements.
