A link-checked look at the ingress controllers and API gateways that route external traffic into Kubernetes clusters — from NGINX and Istio to Kong, Traefik, and beyond.
Allows Azure Application Gateway to be used as the ingress for an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster, converting Ingress resources into gateway configuration.
Runs the APISIX Gateway as a Kubernetes Ingress to handle inbound traffic, dynamically configured using Gateway API resources.
Provides L4-L7 load balancing for applications deployed in a Kubernetes cluster for north-south traffic, ingesting API server updates into the Avi controller.
An ingress controller for NetScaler MPX (hardware), VPX (virtualized), and CPX (containerized) appliances, for bare metal and cloud Kubernetes deployments.
An open source Kubernetes ingress controller providing the control plane for the Envoy edge and service proxy, with dynamic reconfiguration and delegation.
A Kubernetes-native, fully declarative API gateway for observing, securing, and operationalizing APIs and microservices across platforms and clouds.
Integrates with container orchestration environments to dynamically create L4/L7 services on F5 BIG-IP systems as containerized applications change.
A feature-rich, Kubernetes-native ingress controller and next-generation API gateway built on Envoy proxy.
A community-driven ingress controller implementation, one of the first and most complete for HAProxy, with 200+ configuration options.
The official HAProxy Technologies ingress controller, routing traffic from outside the cluster to internal services with full HAProxy configuration support.
A Gateway resource in Istio's service mesh that provides more extensive customization and flexibility than a standard Kubernetes Ingress.
The API gateway built for hybrid and multi-cloud, optimized for microservices and distributed architectures, with a native Kubernetes Ingress Controller.
A traffic management solution for cloud-native applications in Kubernetes and containerized environments, backed by F5 with enterprise support options.
Zalando's HTTP router and reverse proxy, deployable as a Kubernetes ingress controller with a rich set of routing filters and predicates.
Manages access to cluster services by supporting the Ingress specification, part of Traefik's broader cloud-native reverse proxy and load balancer.
An open source Enterprise API Gateway supporting REST, GraphQL, TCP, and gRPC protocols, deployable as a Kubernetes ingress.
A secure HAProxy-based ingress controller for Kubernetes with built-in support for SSL via Let's Encrypt and Prometheus monitoring.
