Managing Mesh Gateways¶
The Mesh Gateway module provides lifecycle management for Mesh Gateway instances, including creation, update, and deletion. Users can use this page to manage all the managed Gateway instances within the current mesh.
Mesh Gateways are divided into two categories: Ingress and Egress.
- Ingress Gateways are used to define the traffic entry points for applications within the service mesh. All incoming traffic to applications within the service mesh should go through the Ingress Gateway.
- Egress Gateways are used to define the traffic exit points for applications within the mesh. They allow traffic from external services to flow through the Egress Gateway, enabling more precise traffic control.
Gateway instances run Envoy, similar to sidecars, but gateways run as separate instances.
