AWS ships GA Gateway API support in the AWS Load Balancer Controller. Teams can manage ALB and NLB with the SIG standard.
The controller swaps annotation JSON for validated CRDs - TargetGroupConfiguration, LoadBalancerConfiguration, ListenerRuleConfiguration - and handles L4 (TCP/UDP/TLS) and L7 (HTTP/gRPC).
Multi-cloud Gateway API portability, plus AWS GA, pushes routing into Kubernetes and cuts reliance on third-party ingress controllers. Infra teams get less yak shaving.
