Manage mesh gateways¶
The mesh gateway function provides the creation and management functions of mesh gateway instances. Users can manage mesh gateway instances in the current mesh on this page.
There are two types of mesh gateways: Ingress (inbound) and Egress (outbound). The Ingress gateway is used to define the traffic entry of the application in the service mesh. All traffic entering the application in the service mesh should pass through the Ingress gateway. The egress gateway is used to define the traffic egress of the application in the mesh, so that the traffic of external services can pass through the egress gateway uniformly, so as to achieve more precise traffic control. Gateway instances also run Envoy, but unlike sidecars, meshes run as separate instances.
