# Traefik & Kubernetes
# Traefik & Kubernetes with Gateway API
The Kubernetes Gateway API Controller.
{: .subtitle }
When using the Kubernetes Gateway API provider, Traefik leverages the Gateway API Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) to obtain its routing configuration.
For detailed information on the Gateway API concepts and resources, refer to the official [documentation](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/).
## Configuration Examples
The Kubernetes Gateway API provider supports version [v1.1.0](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api/releases/tag/v1.1.0) of the specification.
??? example "Configuring Kubernetes Gateway provider and Deploying/Exposing Services"
It fully supports all `HTTPRoute` core and some extended features, as well as the `TCPRoute` and `TLSRoute` resources from the [Experimental channel](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/concepts/versioning/?h=#release-channels).
```yaml tab="Gateway API"
--8<-- "content/reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-gateway-simple-https.yml"
```
For more details, check out the conformance [report](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api/tree/main/conformance/reports/v1.1.0/traefik-traefik).
```yaml tab="Whoami Service"
--8<-- "content/reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-whoami-svc.yml"
```
## Deploying a Gateway
```yaml tab="Traefik Service"
--8<-- "content/reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-gateway-traefik-lb-svc.yml"
```
A `Gateway` is a core resource in the Gateway API specification that defines the entry point for traffic into a Kubernetes cluster.
It is linked to a `GatewayClass`, which specifies the controller responsible for managing and handling the traffic, ensuring that it is directed to the appropriate Kubernetes backend services.
```yaml tab="RBAC"
--8<-- "content/reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-gateway-rbac.yml"
```
The `GatewayClass` is a cluster-scoped resource typically defined by the infrastructure provider.
The following `GatewayClass` defines that gateways attached to it must be managed by the Traefik controller.
## Routing Configuration
```yaml tab="GatewayClass"
---
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: GatewayClass
metadata:
name: traefik
spec:
controllerName: traefik.io/gateway-controller
```
### Custom Resource Definition (CRD)
Next, the following `Gateway` manifest configures the running Traefik controller to handle the incoming traffic.
* You can find an exhaustive list, of the custom resources and their attributes in
[the reference page](../../reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-gateway.md) or in the Kubernetes
Sigs `Gateway API` [repository](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api).
* Validate that [the prerequisites](../../providers/kubernetes-gateway.md#requirements) are fulfilled
before using the Traefik Kubernetes Gateway Provider.
!!! info "Listener ports"
You can find an excerpt of the supported Kubernetes Gateway API resources in the table below:
Please note that `Gateway` listener ports must match the configured [EntryPoint ports](../entrypoints.md) of the Traefik deployment.
In case they do not match, an `ERROR` message is logged, and the resource status is updated accordingly.
| Kind | Purpose | Concept Behind |
|------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [GatewayClass](#kind-gatewayclass) | Defines a set of Gateways that share a common configuration and behaviour | [GatewayClass](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/api-types/gatewayclass) |
| [Gateway](#kind-gateway) | Describes how traffic can be translated to Services within the cluster | [Gateway](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/api-types/gateway) |
| [HTTPRoute](#kind-httproute) | HTTP rules for mapping requests from a Gateway to Kubernetes Services | [Route](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/api-types/httproute) |
| [TCPRoute](#kind-tcproute) | Allows mapping TCP requests from a Gateway to Kubernetes Services | [Route](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/guides/tcp/) |
| [TLSRoute](#kind-tlsroute) | Allows mapping TLS requests from a Gateway to Kubernetes Services | [Route](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/guides/tls/) |

## Exposing a Route
Once a `Gateway` is deployed (see [Deploying a Gateway](#deploying-a-gateway)) `HTTPRoute`, `TCPRoute`,
and/or `TLSRoute` resources must be deployed to forward some traffic to Kubernetes backend [services](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/).
!!! info "Attaching to Gateways"
As demonstrated in the following examples, a Route resource must be configured with `ParentRefs` that reference the parent `Gateway` it should be associated with.
### HTTP/HTTPS
The `HTTPRoute` is a core resource in the Gateway API specification, designed to define how HTTP traffic should be routed within a Kubernetes cluster.
It allows the specification of routing rules that direct HTTP requests to the appropriate Kubernetes backend services.
For more details on the resource and concepts, check out the Kubernetes Gateway API [documentation](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/api-types/httproute/).
For example, the following manifests configure a whoami backend and its corresponding `HTTPRoute`,
reachable through the [deployed `Gateway`](#deploying-a-gateway) at the `http://whoami.localhost` address.
```yaml tab="HTTPRoute"
---
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: HTTPRoute

spec:
parentRefs:

hostnames:

backendRefs:

```
```yaml tab="Whoami deployment"

```

A `Gateway` is 1:1 with the life cycle of the configuration of infrastructure. When a user creates a Gateway, some load
balancing infrastructure is provisioned or configured by the GatewayClass controller. More details on the
Gateway [official documentation](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha2/api-types/gateway/).
ports:
- port: 80
```
Register the `Gateway` [definition](../../reference/dynamic-configuration/kubernetes-gateway.md#definitions) in the
Kubernetes cluster before creating `Gateway` objects.
To secure the connection with HTTPS and redirect non-secure request to the secure endpoint,
we will update the above `HTTPRoute` manifest to add a `RequestRedirect` filter,
and add a new `HTTPRoute` which binds to the https `Listener` and forward the traffic to the whoami backend.
Depending on the Listener Protocol, different modes and Route types are supported.
```yaml tab="HTTRoute (HTTP)"

```
Once everything is deployed, sending a `GET` request to the HTTP and HTTPS endpoints should return the following responses:
```shell
$ curl -I http://whoami.localhost

```
### TCP
!!! info "Experimental Channel"
The `TCPRoute` resource described below is currently available only in the Experimental channel of the Gateway API specification.
To use this resource, the [experimentalChannel](../../providers/kubernetes-gateway.md#experimentalchannel) option must be enabled in the Traefik deployment.
The `TCPRoute` is a resource in the Gateway API specification designed to define how TCP traffic should be routed within a Kubernetes cluster.
For more details on the resource and concepts, check out the Kubernetes Gateway API [documentation](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/reference/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2.TCPRoute).
For example, the following manifests configure a whoami backend and its corresponding `TCPRoute`,
reachable through the [deployed `Gateway`](#deploying-a-gateway) at the `localhost:3000` address.

### TLS
!!! info "Experimental Channel"
The `TLSRoute` resource described below is currently available only in the Experimental channel of the Gateway API.
Therefore, to use this resource, the [experimentalChannel](../../providers/kubernetes-gateway.md#experimentalchannel) option must be enabled.
The `TLSRoute` is a resource in the Gateway API specification designed to define how TLS (Transport Layer Security) traffic should be routed within a Kubernetes cluster.
It specifies routing rules for TLS connections, directing them to appropriate backend services based on the SNI (Server Name Indication) of the incoming connection.
For more details on the resource and concepts, check out the Kubernetes Gateway API [documentation](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/reference/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2.TLSRoute).
For example, the following manifests configure a whoami backend and its corresponding `TLSRoute`,
reachable through the [deployed `Gateway`](#deploying-a-gateway) at the `localhost:3443` address via a secure connection with the `whoami.localhost` SNI.
```yaml tab="TLSRoute"

## Using Traefik middleware as HTTPRoute filter
An HTTP [filter](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/api-types/httproute/#filters-optional) is an `HTTPRoute` component which enables the modification of HTTP requests and responses as they traverse the routing infrastructure.
There are three types of filters:
- **Core:** Mandatory filters for every Gateway controller, such as `RequestHeaderModifier` and `RequestRedirect`.
- **Extended:** Optional filters for Gateway controllers, such as `ResponseHeaderModifier` and `RequestMirror`.
- **ExtensionRef:** Additional filters provided by the Gateway controller. In Traefik, these are the [HTTP middlewares](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/middlewares/http/overview/) supported through the [Middleware CRD](../providers/kubernetes-crd.md#kind-middleware).
!!! info "ExtensionRef Filters"
To use Traefik middlewares as `ExtensionRef` filters, the Kubernetes IngressRoute provider must be enabled in the static configuration, as detailed in the [documentation](../../providers/kubernetes-crd.md).
For example, the following manifests configure an `HTTPRoute` using the Traefik `AddPrefix` middleware,
reachable through the [deployed `Gateway`](#deploying-a-gateway) at the `http://whoami.localhost` address:
```yaml tab="HTTRoute"
