OKD v4.19 comes with API Gateway. Any builtin implementation?

[titou10titou10]

OKD v4.19 comes with API Gateway CRDs:GatewayClass,Gateway,HTTPRoute etc

Q:

• is there a built-in implementation of the API or do we have to install our own?

If so, which one is it (HAProxy? Istio? ...) and how to use it?

Ref: https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/
API Gateway implementations: https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/implementations/

oc get ingressclass

This was mentioned in the last OKD Working Group meeting, but in OpenShift and MicroShift, they use their downstream implementation of Istio (OpenShift Service Mesh) for the Gateway APIs. We will need to get this built alongside OKD and include the container images for it.

@SupremeMortal Cool.
So can we expect to have an API Gateway implementation included in OKD in v4.19.x sometime? or in future v4.20?

Any progress on this? 4.21 is now out, 4.22 is in beta and there is still no gateway implementation bundled with OKD like for ingress
