Reliability has supported AI gateway routing and currently secures LLM traffic with flexible policies
In my opinion, NGINX Ingress Controller can make better improvements for ingress control, and I think they are already the leader in the Ingress and Gateway API. The Gateway API has the capability to separate the gateway responsible for the FQDN and certificate management. They separate this part within the gateway, and another part is the HTTP route which will load balance to the backend service. F5 has this kind of deployment for many years before the announcement of the Gateway API itself. Currently, there is no suggestion about complexities or functions that can simplify my life with NGINX Ingress Controller.
