Gateway to the Future: A Brief History of Kubernetes Ingress

Join Viktor Gamov, a Principal Developer Advocate with Kong, as he navigates the evolution of Kubernetes Ingress. Starting with the basics, he’ll explain how Ingress is pivotal in managing external access to services within a Kubernetes cluster through HTTP and HTTPS routes. In this talk, Viktor will also address its limitations – the challenge of managing multiple Ingress resources, inconsistencies across different controllers, and inherent limitations in handling non-L7 protocols like TCP and UDP.

Managing Kong Routes in Multi-Cloud Environments

Join Frederik Nakstad and Adelina Simion from Form3 to learn how they use the Kong Ingress Controller to manage service routes on Form3’s multi-cloud platform. You’ll get an overview of Form3’s platform and environment configuration and how they moved from a legacy ECS solution to running Kong in a Kubernetes-native way with the Kong Ingress Controller. This approach provides useful abstractions and makes it easier for the Form3 service teams to configure routes.
