Kubernetes Ingress is officially DEPRECATED, and the future is Gateway API. In this hands-on video, I’ll show you exactly how Gateway API works, how to install it, and how to route real application traffic using NGINX Gateway Fabric (NGF) step by step. We cover everything: CRDs, GatewayClass, Gateways, HTTPRoutes, backendRefs, real apps, routing, and even how this compares to your old Ingress YAML. If you're a DevOps engineer, Kubernetes admin, SRE, or platform engineer, this is a must-watch before the Ingress deprecation deadline hits.
