Description
This panel discussion explores the synergy between Gateway API and MCS API, two crucial Kubernetes-native APIs for multicluster traffic management. Gateway API provides advanced routing capabilities, while MCS API offers cross-cluster service discovery. The session delves into how these APIs work together, their evolution, and how users have navigated challenges in their implementation. It also touches upon their place within the broader ecosystem of service discovery solutions, including service meshes and vendor-specific tooling, and introduces the GAMMA initiative which aims to unify east-west traffic management.
