Kubernetes is undergoing significant developments in networking for cloud-native deployments.
- The Special Interest Group-Networking project leads outlined upcoming innovations at the recent KubeCon.
- The Ingress API has limitations, including an insufficient permission model, a focus on HTTP traffic, and a "wild west" of incompatible annotations and extensions.
- The Gateway API, which is in beta development, will replace the Ingress API and offer a role-oriented system, handle multiple protocols, and provide scalability.
- The Gateway API for Mesh Management and Administration (GAMMA) will enable a service mesh for HTTP traffic in a Kubernetes cluster.
- The Admin Network Policy API is under early development to help administrators enforce policies across a cloud-native cluster.
