Evolving Kubernetes Ingress

The Kubernetes Ingress API has a number of limitations which over the years have been papered over with annotations. Contour, the Envoy-based Ingress controller my team at Heptio are building, recently introduced a new IngressRoute API to addresses the existing limitations and unlock the ability for teams and operators to have more control over ingress deployments in multi-team scenarios.

In this short talk, Ross Kukulinski will explain the limitations of the current ingress API and how our new IngressRoute API addresses those shortcomings while making it possible for multiple teams to collaborate and delegate responsibility using new routing patterns and strategies.
