Announcing Ingress2Gateway 1.0: Your Path to Gateway API

Ingress-NGINX is scheduled for retirement in March 2026, creating a need for migration to Gateway API. Migrating from Ingress to Gateway API is a significant shift, moving from extended annotations to a modular, extensible API. The Ingress2Gateway tool assists teams in this transition by translating Ingress resources and their annotations. SIG Network has released Ingress2Gateway version 1.0, a stable migration assistant. This new release significantly improves Ingress-NGINX annotation support, now covering over 30 common annotations. Comprehensive integration tests ensure the behavioral equivalence of Ingress-NGINX configurations and generated Gateway API manifests. Ingress2Gateway also provides clear notifications for untranslatable configurations and offers suggestions for manual intervention. The tool aims to migrate supported configurations, identify unsupported ones, and prompt reevaluation of existing settings. Users install and run Ingress2Gateway by providing Ingress manifests or connecting to a cluster. Critically, users must review the generated output and warnings to ensure accurate translation and identify potential issues. While Ingress2Gateway automates much of the process, manual verification and adjustment of Gateway API manifests are essential.
