 Kubernetes defines a networking model that needs to be implemented by a separate CNI plugin.
 Beyond basic connectivity within the cluster, however, there are many networking features that are specified but optional.

 The Ingress API allows the external exposure of HTTP/HTTPS-based services running in the cluster.
 Unlike the L3/L4-based LoadBalancer Service type, Ingress provides L7 load balancing, HTTP routing, and TLS termination for services.
-This functionality can be provided within the cluster by a pod-based ingress controller such as `ingress-nginx`, that exposes Ingress resources as Services.

 However, there are also Ingress controllers that integrate with underlying infrastructure and may help to reduce overhead.
 Examples for this are the Cilium CNI plugin, which comes with built-in Ingress support, and the Octavia Ingress controller, which may be a good choice if OpenStack Octavia is already used to provide L3/L4 load balancing.

 The CSPs that manage the underlying infrastructure can of course make the best choice for such an integrated Ingress controller, so they should be encouraged to do so.
 Even with a CSP-provided default Ingress controller present, users will be able to use alternative Ingress controllers by creating a new `IngressClass`, which can then be referenced in Ingress resources.
 
+#### Gateway API
+
+The Kubernetes Gateway API is the successor to the Ingress API and provides a more expressive, role-oriented model for managing traffic into a cluster.
+It introduces new resource types, enabling more flexible and extensible traffic routing across L4 and L7.
+
+Unlike Ingress, which is a single resource with limited extensibility, the Gateway API separates concerns between infrastructure providers and application developers:
+
+- Infrastructure providers define and manage GatewayClass and Gateway resources.
+- Application developers attach routing rules via Route resources such as HTTPRoute.
+
+This separation allows for safer multi-tenancy and clearer ownership boundaries, which are particularly relevant in managed Kubernetes environments.
+
+The Gateway API is designed to be implementation-agnostic but requires a controller to reconcile its resources, similar to Ingress.
+Support for the Gateway API is growing across multiple projects, including implementations based on Envoy, HAProxy, and CNI-integrated solutions such as Cilium.
+
+While the Gateway API is more powerful and flexible than Ingress, it is still evolving and not yet universally supported across all environments and tooling.
