If you follow the K8s world, you have probably heard that the Gateway API has been released as beta this past summer!

As a superset of the Ingress API, the Gateway API provides a lot of power to teams, by letting non-admin folks get non-admin tasks completed.

If you wanted to try out the Gateway API, but weren't sure where to start, I created a simple and easy demo that walks through 3 common use cases, and you can see how simple it is!

The steps are outlined on my repo here.

A rough overview is that you will deploy a sample application httpbin, and create a Gateway with the Istio Gateway Controller.
Then you can try out 3 scenarios:

1. Adding a new route to your HTTPRoute
2. Traffic shifting between v1 and v2 of your application
3. Trying a new Gateway! (this one is my personal fave)

Try it out, and leave any questions that you might have here! :)
