The Gateway API should become a universal set of resources to describe all Kubernetes traffic north, south, and east-west. The Gamma Initiative was formed to bring all the benefits that Gateway API has started to succeed at in the Ingress space but to service mesh.
- The Gateway API features are not specific to Ingress traffic and can be used for all Kubernetes traffic.
- The Gamma Initiative was formed to create a unified API for traffic going both in and out of the cluster and across different services.
- The goal is to have a unified API across vendors of meshes and between Ingress and mesh.
- The initiative has weekly meetings and resources available for those who want to get involved.
- The first big milestone for the project is the support for defining how HTTP traffic works in a service mesh.
- The Gamma Initiative aims to make Kubernetes easier for everyone to use.
