2# Kubernetes Gateway (Gateway API, gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1): "an instance of traffic
3# handling infrastructure" - a cloud load balancer or an in-cluster proxy - that filters,
4# balances and routes traffic to backend Services ("Gateway API"). Per that page: Gateway,
5# GatewayClass, HTTPRoute and GRPCRoute are the stable (GA) kinds; Gateway API is an add-on
6# shipped as custom resources rather than part of core Kubernetes, so a controller for the named
7# GatewayClass must be running; listeners declare protocol, port and optional hostname and TLS;
8# and a Gateway accepts Routes only from its own namespace unless allowedRoutes says otherwise.
