Cilium’s Gateway API implementation isn’t just a replacement; it’s an upgrade that brings a host of benefits, from enhanced traffic control to streamlined operations. Advanced traffic management: Native support for header-based routing, traffic splitting, and cross-namespace routes. Unified traffic management (GAMMA): Leverage a single, consistent API (Gateway API) to manage both external (north-south) ingress traffic and internal (east-west) service mesh traffic, simplifying operations and policy enforcement. Role separation: Decouple infrastructure from application routing for better secur
