Verify Conclusion Resources about Gateway API With the Ingress-NGINX retirement scheduled for March 2026, the Kubernetes networking landscape is at a turning point. For most organizations, the question isn't whether to migrate to Gateway API , but how to do so safely. Migrating from Ingress to Gateway API is a fundamental shift in API design. Gateway API provides a modular, extensible API with strong support for Kubernetes-native RBAC. Conversely, the Ingress API is simple, and implementations such as Ingress-NGINX extend the API through esoteric annotations, ConfigMaps, and CRDs. Migrating away from Ingress controllers such as Ingress-NGINX presents the daunting task of capturing all the nuances of the Ingress controller, and mapping that behavior to Gateway API. Ingress2Gateway is an assistant that helps teams confidently move from Ingress to Gateway API. It translates Ingress resources/manifests along with implementation-specific annotations to Gateway API while warning you about untranslatable configuration and offering suggestions.
