This is our second look into the Kubernetes Gateway API an it’s integration into OpenShift. This post covers TLS configuration.

The Kubernetes Gateway API is new implementation of the ingress, load balancing and service mesh API’s. See upstream for more information.

Also the OpenShift documentation provides an overview of the Gateway API and it’s integration.

We demonstrate how to add TLS to our Nginx deployment, how to implement a shared Gateway and finally how to implement HTTP to HTTPS redirection with the Gateway API. Furthermore we cover how HTTPRoute objects attach to Gateways and dive into ordering of HTTPRoute objects.

This blog post summarizes our first look into the Kubernetes Gateway API and how it is integrated in OpenShift.
