InGate is a new project developed within the Kubernetes SIG to replace a well-known Ingress NGINX Controller for Kubernetes (ingress-nginx).

As its official description says, InGate is “an Ingress and Gateway API Controller for Kubernetes.” The idea is to have a traditional ingress controller that provides more flexibility in traffic routing, load balancing, etc., thanks to the Gateway API implementation under the hood. At the same time, it should not be difficult for those using ingress-nginx to adapt.

You can learn more about this project from the “Securing the Future of Ingress-Nginx” talk (starting from 13:13) presented by James Strong, Isovalent & Marco Ebert, Giant Swarm during KubeCon NA 2024.
