AWS Load Balancer Controller adds general availability support for Kubernetes Gateway API

# AWS Load Balancer Controller adds general availability support for Kubernetes Gateway API ## What started the discussion This r/kubernetes thread focused on **AWS Load Balancer Controller adds general availability support for Kubernetes Gateway API**. The original post pointed readers to **aws.amazon.com**, and the comments quickly turned into a practical discussion about the tradeoffs, surprises, and production realities behind the topic. ## What stood out in the comments ### Discussion point 1 Lots of folks , like myself are currently migrating to gateway api from Nginx ingress since it is EOL after this month. ### Discussion point 2 Cool, this is especially important now that nginx ingress is on the way out ### Discussion point 3 Does it matter that much? Gateway API is literally designed to abstract away things that were vendor specific. I don't know of anything that Ingress supports that Gateway doesn't. You should be planning a move to Gateway API. ### Discussion point 4 Im using: AWS Load Balancer Controller + Gateway API + Envoy Gateway ### Discussion point 5 Will this finally make target group deregistration less stupid? Having to do pre-stop sleep with extra signals so targets can stop getting traffic before shutting down is painfully annoying. ## Thread snapshot - Original subreddit: r/kubernetes - Original author: u/swe129 - Reddit score: 89 - Comment count: 23 - Original thread: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/networking-and-content-delivery/aws-load-balancer-controller-adds-general-availability-support-for-kubernetes-gateway-api/
