Conference: KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2023
Authors: Nigel Brown, Steve Kriss

Contour, a CNCF incubating project, is a high performance ingress and load balancer solution for Kubernetes. The project, its roadmap, and the community have gone through several changes over the past few months and we’d like to give some updates. We will discuss the project and its health, new features added in recent releases, progress on Gateway API support, the project roadmap, and much more. We will also discuss the plans for the future of community building efforts and how you can help us make Contour the best that it can possibly be.

The presentation discusses the development of a common Kubernetes platform and multi-tenant platform to reduce developer cognitive load and abstract away infrastructure. The focus is on using the Kubernetes API for everything and implementing the Gateway API for network configuration.
- Development teams have been building their own cloud platforms for the past 4-5 years resulting in many similar platforms with some differences in details
- Increased need for network features external to people such as web application firewalls and DDOS protection led to the establishment of a platform team to build a common Kubernetes platform
- The main principle is to reduce developer cognitive load and provide a paved path for running applications in the cloud
- The team aims to use the Kubernetes API for everything and expose it with some kind of abstraction on top
- The team is building a custom Kubernetes controller from scratch using a cube builder and implementing the Gateway API for network configuration
- The Gateway API is a networking model that consists of several Kubernetes resources making it more flexible and role-oriented
- The team plans to use the Gateway API in production by the end of the year

The presentation discusses the advantages of using Gateway API over Ingress API in Kubernetes for advanced use cases such as traffic splitting and secure certificate management.
- Gateway API is more expressive, extensible, and portable than Ingress API
- Gateway API offers easier and safer ways to implement advanced use cases such as traffic splitting and secure certificate management
- Automated transition processes for traffic shifting may require additional tools such as Flagger or Argo
