# Gateway
This topic provides full details about the `Gateway` resource.
## Introduction
A `Gateway` is an instance of network infrastructure that determines how service traffic should be handled. A `Gateway` contains one or more `listeners` that bind to a set of IP addresses. An `HTTPRoute` or `TCPRoute` can then attach to a gateway listener to direct traffic from the gateway to a service.
Gateway instances derive their configurations from the `GatewayClass` resource, which acts as a template for individual `Gateway` deployments. Refer to [GatewayClass](/docs/api-gateway/configuration/gatewayclass) for additional information.
Specify the following parameters to declare a Gateway:
| Parameter | Description | Required |

# GatewayClass
The `GatewayClass` resource is used as a template for creating `Gateway` resources.
The specification includes the name of the controller (`controllerName`) and an API object containing controller-specific configuration resources within the cluster (`parametersRef`).
The value of the `controllerName` field must be set to `hashicorp.com/consul-api-gateway-controller`.
When gateways are created from a `GatewayClass`, they use the parameters specified in the `GatewayClass` at the time of instantiation.
Add the `kind: GatewayClass` option to the the gateway values file to declare a gateway class.
The following example creates a gateway class called `test-gateway-class`:
<CodeBlockConfig filename="gateway.yaml">
```yaml
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2
kind: GatewayClass
metadata:
name: test-gateway-class
spec:
controllerName: 'hashicorp.com/consul-api-gateway-controller'
parametersRef:
group: api-gateway.consul.hashicorp.com
kind: GatewayClassConfig
name: test-gateway-class-config
```
</CodeBlockConfig>
Refer to the [Kubernetes Gateway API documentation](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha2/references/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2.GatewayClass) for details about configuring gateway classes.

# Configuration
This topic provides an overview of the configuration items that enable Consul API Gateway to facilitate ingress into your Consul service mesh.
- [Gateway](/docs/api-gateway/configuration/gateway): Defines the main infrastructure resource that links API gateway components. It specifies the name of the `GatewayClass` and one or more listeners (see [Listeners](/docs/api-gateway/configuration/gateway#listeners)), which specify the logical endpoints bound to the gateway's addresses. Refer to Configuration > Gateway for details on configuration.
- [GatewayClassConfig](/docs/api-gateway/configuration/gatewayclassconfig): Describes additional Consul API Gateway-related configuration parameters for the GatewayClass resource.
- [GatewayClass](/docs/api-gateway/configuration/gatewayclass): Defines a class of gateway resources that you can use as a template for creating gateways.
- [Routes](/docs/api-gateway/configuration/routes): Specifies the path from the gateway to the backend service(s)client to the listener.

# Route
Routes are independent configuration objects that are associated with specific listeners.
Declare a route with either `kind: HTTPRoute` or `kind: TCPRoute` and configure the route parameters in the `spec` block.
Refer to the Kubernetes Gateway API documentation for each object type for details:
- [HTTPRoute](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha2/references/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2.HTTPRoute)
- [TCPRoute](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha2/references/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2.TCPRoute)
The following example creates a route named `example-route` associated with a listener defined in `example-gateway`.
<CodeBlockConfig filename="routes.yaml">
```yaml
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2
kind: HTTPRoute
metadata:
name: example-route
spec:
parentRefs:
- name: example-gateway
rules:
- backendRefs:
- kind: Service
name: echo
port: 8080
```
</CodeBlockConfig>
To create a route for a `backendRef` in a different namespace, you must also
create a [ReferencePolicy](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha2/references/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2.ReferencePolicy).
The following example creates a route named `example-route` in namespace `gateway-namespace`. This route has a `backendRef` in namespace `service-namespace`. Traffic is allowed because the `ReferencePolicy`, named `reference-policy` in namespace `service-namespace`, allows traffic from `HTTPRoutes` in `gateway-namespace` to `Services` in `service-namespace`.
<CodeBlockConfig filename="route_with_referencepolicy.yaml">
```yaml
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2
kind: HTTPRoute
metadata:
name: example-route
namespace: gateway-namespace
spec:
parentRefs:
- name: example-gateway
rules:
- backendRefs:
- kind: Service
name: echo
namespace: service-namespace
port: 8080

spec:
from:
- group: gateway.networking.k8s.io
kind: HTTPRoute
namespace: gateway-namespace
to:
- group: ""
kind: Service
name: echo
```
</CodeBlockConfig>
## MeshService
The `MeshService` configuration holds a reference to an externally-managed Consul service mesh service and can be used as a `backendRef` for a [`Route`](#route).
| Parameter | Description | Type | Default |
| ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | --------------- |
| `name` | Specifies the service name for a Consul service. It is assumed this service will exist in either the `consulDestinationNamespace` or mirrored Consul namespace from where this custom resource is defined, depending on the Helm configuration.
Refer to the [Consul API Gateway repository](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-api-gateway/blob/main/config/crd/bases/api-gateway.consul.hashicorp.com_meshservices.yaml) for the complete specification.

## Configuration
Configure the following artifacts to facilitate ingress into your Consul service mesh:
- [GatewayClassConfig](#gatewayclassconfig): Describes additional Consul API Gateway-related configuration parameters for the `GatewayClass` resource.
- [GatewayClass](#gatewayclass): Defines a class of gateway resources that you can use as a template for creating gateways.
- [Gateway](#gateway): Defines the main infrastructure resource that links API gateway components. It specifies the name of the `GatewayClass` and one or more `listeners` (see [Listeners](#listeners)), which specify the logical endpoints bound to the gateway's addresses.
- [Routes](#routes): Specifies the path from the client to the listener.
-> **Note:** Add the following `managedGatewayClass` configuration to the `values.yaml` Helm configuration to enable the `GatewayClassConfig` and `GatewayClass` to be created automatically. The gateway, listeners, and routes will need to be configured manually. When `managedGatewayClass` is enabled, the [`serviceType`](/docs/k8s/helm#v-apigateway-managedgatewayclass-servicetype) for a managed `GatewayClass` will also default to `LoadBalancer`, which is appropriate for most deployments to managed Kubernetes cloud offerings (i.e., EKS, GKE, AKS). Other deployments, such as to a [kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/) cluster, may require specifying `NodePort` or `ClusterIP`, instead.
### GatewayClassConfig
The `GatewayClassConfig` object describes Consul API Gateway-related configuration parameters for the [`GatewayClass`](#gatewayclass).
Add the `kind: GatewayClassConfig` option to the gateway values file to declare a gateway class.
The following example creates a gateway class configuration called `test-gateway-class-config`:
<CodeBlockConfig filename="gateway.yaml">
```yaml
apiVersion: api-gateway.consul.hashicorp.com/v1alpha1
kind: GatewayClassConfig
metadata:
name: test-gateway-class-config
spec:

Refer to the [Consul API Gateway repository](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-api-gateway/blob/main/config/crd/bases/api-gateway.consul.hashicorp.com_gatewayclassconfigs.yaml) for the complete specification.
### GatewayClass
The `GatewayClass` resource is used as a template for creating `Gateway` resources.
The specification includes the name of the controller (`controllerName`) and an API object containing controller-specific configuration resources within the cluster (`parametersRef`).
The value of the `controllerName` field must be set to `hashicorp.com/consul-api-gateway-controller`.
When gateways are created from a `GatewayClass`, they use the parameters specified in the `GatewayClass` at the time of instantiation.
Add the `kind: GatewayClass` option to the the gateway values file to declare a gateway class.
The following example creates a gateway class called `test-gateway-class`:
<CodeBlockConfig filename="gateway.yaml">
```yaml
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2
kind: GatewayClass
metadata:
name: test-gateway-class
spec:
controllerName: 'hashicorp.com/consul-api-gateway-controller'
parametersRef:
group: api-gateway.consul.hashicorp.com
kind: GatewayClassConfig
name: test-gateway-class-config
```
</CodeBlockConfig>
Refer to the [Kubernetes Gateway API documentation](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha2/references/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2.GatewayClass) for details about configuring gateway classes.
### Gateway
The gateway configuration is the main infrastructure resource that links API gateway components. It specifies the name of the `GatewayClass` and one or more `listeners`.
Add the `kind: Gateway` option to the configuration file to declare a gateway.
The following example creates a gateway called `example-gateway`.
The gateway is based on the `test-gateway-class` and includes a listener called `https` (see [Listeners](#listeners) for details about the `listener` configuration).
<CodeBlockConfig filename="gateway.yaml">
```yaml
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2
kind: Gateway
metadata:
name: example-gateway
annotations:
'external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname': DNS_HOSTNAME
spec:
gatewayClassName: test-gateway-class
listeners:
- protocol: HTTPS
hostname: DNS_HOSTNAME
port: 443
name: https
allowedRoutes:
namespaces:
from: Same
tls:
certificateRefs:
- name: gateway-production-certificate
```
</CodeBlockConfig>
For a listener's `certificateRef` to reference a secret in a different namespace, you must also create a [ReferencePolicy](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha2/references/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2.ReferencePolicy).
The following example creates a `Gateway` named `example-gateway` in `gateway-namespace`. This `Gateway` has a `certificateRef` in `secret-namespace`.
The reference is allowed because `reference-policy` in `secret-namespace` lets `Gateways` in `gateway-namespace` reference `Secrets` in `secret-namespace`.
<CodeBlockConfig filename="gateway_with_referencepolicy.yaml">
```yaml
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2
kind: Gateway
metadata:
name: example-gateway
namespace: gateway-namespace
annotations:
'external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname': DNS_HOSTNAME
spec:
gatewayClassName: test-gateway-class
listeners:
- protocol: HTTPS
hostname: DNS_HOSTNAME
port: 443
name: https
allowedRoutes:
namespaces:
from: Same
tls:
certificateRefs:
- name: gateway-production-certificate
namespace: secret-namespace
---
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2
kind: ReferencePolicy
metadata:
name: reference-policy
namespace: secret-namespace
spec:
from:
- group: gateway.networking.k8s.io
kind: Gateway
namespace: gateway-namespace
to:
- group: ""
kind: Secret
name: gateway-production-certificate
```
</CodeBlockConfig>
Refer to the [Kubernetes Gateway API documentation](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha2/references/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2.Gateway) for further details about configuring gateways.
#### Listeners
Listeners are the logical endpoints bound to the gateway's addresses.
Add the `listener` object to the `gateway` configuration and specify the following properties to define a listener:
| Parameter | Description | Type | Default |
| ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | --------------- |
| `hostname` | Specifies the virtual hostname to match for protocol types. | String | none |
| `port` | Specifies the network port number. | Integer | none |
| `protocol` | Specifies the network protocol expected by the listener. | String | `http` |
| `tls` | Collection of parameters that specify TLS options for the listener. Refer to the [`GatewayTLSConfig`](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha2/references/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2.GatewayTLSConfig) documentation for additional information about configuring TLS. | Object | N/A |
| `tls.mode` | Specifies a mode for operating Consul API Gateway listeners over TLS. <br/>You can only specify the `Terminate` mode, which configures the TLS session between the downstream client and the gateway to terminate at the gateway. <br/>Refer to the [`TLSModeType` documentation](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha2/references/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2.TLSModeType) for additional information. | String | `Terminate` |
| `tls.certificateRefs` | Specifies the name of secret object used for Envoy SDS (Secret Discovery Service) to support terminating TLS. Refer to the [`[]*SecretObjectReference` documentation](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha2/references/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2.SecretObjectReference) for additional information. | String | N/A |
| `tls.options` | Specifies key/value pairs to enable extended TLS configuration specific to an implementation. | Object | N/A |
| `tls.options.tls_min_version` | Specifies the minimum TLS version supported for the listener. The following values are supported: `TLS_AUTO`, `TLSv1_0`, `TLSv1_1`, `TLSv1_2`, `TLSv1_3`. | String | `TLS 1.2` |
| `tls.options.tls_max_version` | Specifies the maximum TLS version supported for the listener. The specified version must be greater than or equal to `TLSMinVersion`. The following values are supported: `TLS_AUTO`, `TLSv1_0`, `TLSv1_1`, `TLSv1_2`, `TLSv1_3`. | String | `TLS 1.3` |
| `tls.options.tls_cipher_suites` | Specifies the list of TLS cipher suites to support when negotiating connections using TLS 1.2 or earlier. <br/>If unspecified, a [more secure set of cipher suites](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-api-gateway/blob/main/internal/common/tls.go#L3-L10) than Envoy's current [default server cipher list](https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-v3/extensions/transport_sockets/tls/v3/common.proto#envoy-v3-api-field-extensions-transport-sockets-tls-v3-tlsparameters-cipher-suites) will be used. <br/>The full list of supported cipher suites can seen in [`internal/common/tls.go`](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-api-gateway/blob/main/internal/common/tls.go) and is dependent on underlying support in Envoy. | String | See description |
Refer to the [Kubernetes Gateway API documentation](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha2/references/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2.Listener) for details about configuring listeners.
#### Scaling
You can scale a logical gateway object to multiple instances with the [`kubectl scale`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/deployment/#scaling-a-deployment) command. The object scales according to the bounds set in `GatewayClassConfig`.
```shell-session
$ kubectl get deployment --selector api-gateway.consul.hashicorp.com/name=example-gateway
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE
example-gateway 1/1 1 1
```
```shell-session
$ kubectl scale deployment/example-gateway --replicas=3
deployment.apps/example-gateway scaled
```
```shell-session
$ kubectl get deployment --selector api-gateway.consul.hashicorp.com/name=example-gateway
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE
example-gateway 3/3 3 3
```
### Route
Routes are independent configuration objects that are associated with specific listeners.
Declare a route with either `kind: HTTPRoute` or `kind: TCPRoute` and configure the route parameters in the `spec` block.
Refer to the Kubernetes Gateway API documentation for each object type for details:
- [HTTPRoute](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha2/references/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2.HTTPRoute)
- [TCPRoute](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha2/references/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2.TCPRoute)
The following example creates a route named `example-route` associated with a listener defined in `example-gateway`.
<CodeBlockConfig filename="routes.yaml">
```yaml
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2
kind: HTTPRoute
metadata:
name: example-route
spec:
parentRefs:
- name: example-gateway
rules:
- backendRefs:
- kind: Service
name: echo
port: 8080
```
</CodeBlockConfig>
To create a route for a `backendRef` in a different namespace, you must also
create a [ReferencePolicy](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha2/references/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2.ReferencePolicy).
The following example creates a route named `example-route` in namespace `gateway-namespace`. This route has a `backendRef` in namespace `service-namespace`. Traffic is allowed because the `ReferencePolicy`, named `reference-policy` in namespace `service-namespace`, allows traffic from `HTTPRoutes` in `gateway-namespace` to `Services` in `service-namespace`.
<CodeBlockConfig filename="route_with_referencepolicy.yaml">
```yaml
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2
kind: HTTPRoute
metadata:
name: example-route
namespace: gateway-namespace
spec:
parentRefs:
- name: example-gateway
rules:
- backendRefs:
- kind: Service
name: echo
namespace: service-namespace
port: 8080
---
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2
kind: ReferencePolicy
metadata:
name: reference-policy
namespace: service-namespace
spec:
from:
- group: gateway.networking.k8s.io
kind: HTTPRoute
namespace: gateway-namespace
to:
- group: ""
kind: Service
name: echo
```
</CodeBlockConfig>
### MeshService
The `MeshService` configuration holds a reference to an externally-managed Consul service mesh service and can be used as a `backendRef` for a [`Route`](#route).
| Parameter | Description | Type | Default |
| ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | --------------- |
| `name` | Specifies the service name for a Consul service. It is assumed this service will exist in either the `consulDestinationNamespace` or mirrored Consul namespace from where this custom resource is defined, depending on the Helm configuration.
Refer to the [Consul API Gateway repository](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-api-gateway/blob/main/config/crd/bases/api-gateway.consul.hashicorp.com_meshservices.yaml) for the complete specification.

@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ Consul API Gateway solves the following primary use cases:
- **Controlling access at the point of entry**: Consul API Gateway allows users to set the protocols of external connection requests and provide clients with TLS certificates from trusted providers (e.g., Verisign, Let’s Encrypt).
- **Simplifying traffic management**: The Consul API Gateway can load balance requests across services and route traffic to the appropriate service by matching one or more criteria, such as hostname, path, header presence or value, and HTTP Method type (e.g., GET, POST, PATCH).
## Implementation
## How Does Consul API Gateway Work?
Consul API Gateway can be deployed on Kubernetes-based runtime environments and requires that Consul service mesh be deployed on the Kubernetes cluster.
