Create Gateway

IMESH API Gateway offers API Configuration to create and manage APIs for your Kubernetes applications. You can create Gateways to receive incoming traffic at a specific port and Routes to redirect the traffic to a back-end application.

The video below provides an overview.

1. IMESH API Gateway allows DevOps to create, edit, and delete Gateway resources from the application itself. To create a Gateway, you only need to click Add New Gateway and complete the form.

1. Gateway creation has two parts: General Info and Listener. At first, a DevOps engineer must fill in the general info about creating a Gateway resource, such as the namespace, selecting a Gateway class, etc.

1. The Listener section will seek information about the traffic, such as the IP protocol (HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, UDP, etc.), Port, and TLS mode.

1. Once you create a listener, you can deploy the Gateway resource.

1. Your Gateway has already been created and is visible in the Gateway portal. And it will provide a public address to receive the traffic. Now, developers can use this Gateway and listener to create Routes for their applications.
