Migrating from Ingress to Gateway API

Still running ingress-nginx? With its retirement coming up in March 2026, it might be time to upgrade. In this video, we walk through how to migrate from ingress-nginx and the legacy Ingress API to the Kubernetes Gateway API using kgateway - a modern, Envoy-powered implementation designed for scalability and flexibility. As Kubernetes environments grow, traditional Ingress controllers can introduce operational complexity, performance bottlenecks, and architectural constraints. The Gateway API brings a cleaner, role-oriented model built for today’s cloud-native platforms. In this walkthrough, you’ll learn how to: - Migrate from ingress-nginx to the Gateway API step by step - Replace legacy Ingress resources with Gateway API resources - Use kgateway (CNCF sandbox, Envoy-based) as your data plane - Improve scalability, extensibility, and traffic management - Future-proof your Kubernetes networking architecture Whether you're a platform engineer modernizing your stack or exploring Gateway API for the first time, this video gives you a practical path forward.
