-# Gateway API Support
+# Gateway API

-Kamaji provides built-in support for the [Gateway API](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/), allowing you to expose Tenant Control Planes using TLSRoute resources with SNI-based routing. This enables hostname-based routing to multiple Tenant Control Planes through a single Gateway resource, reducing the need for dedicated LoadBalancer services.
+Kamaji provides built-in support for the [Gateway API](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/), allowing Tenant Control Planes to be exposed as SNI-based addresses/urls. This eliminates the need for a dedicated LoadBalancer IP per TCP. A single Gateway resource can be used for multiple Tenant Control Planes and provide access to them with hostname-based routing (like `https://mycluster.xyz.com:6443`).

-## Overview
+You can configure Gateway in Tenant Control Plane via `tcp.spec.controlPlane.gateway`, Kamaji will automatically create a `TLSRoute` resource with corresponding spec. To make this configuration work, you need to ensure `gateway` exists (is created by you) and `tcp.spec.controlPlane.gateway` points to your gateway.

-Gateway API support in Kamaji automatically creates and manages TLSRoute resources for your Tenant Control Planes. When you configure a Gateway for a Tenant Control Plane, Kamaji automatically creates TLSRoutes for the Control Plane API Server. If konnectivity is enabled, a separate TLSRoute is created for it. Both TLSRoutes use the same hostname and Gateway resource, but route to different ports(listeners) using port-based routing and semantic `sectionName` values.
+We will cover a few examples below on how this is done.

-Therefore, the target `Gateway` resource must have right listener configurations (see the Gateway [example section](#gateway-resource-setup) below).
-
-
-## How It Works
-
-When you configure `spec.controlPlane.gateway` in a TenantControlPlane resource, Kamaji automatically:
-
-1. **Creates a TLSRoute for the control plane** that routes for port 6443 (or `spec.networkProfile.port`) with sectionName `"kube-apiserver"`
-2. **Creates a TLSRoute for Konnectivity** (if konnectivity addon is enabled) that routes for port 8132 (or `spec.addons.konnectivity.server.port`) with sectionName `"konnectivity-server"`
-
-Both TLSRoutes:
-
- Use the same hostname from `spec.controlPlane.gateway.hostname`
- Reference the same parent Gateway resource via `parentRefs`
- The `port` and `sectionName` fields are set automatically by Kamaji
- Route to the appropriate Tenant Control Plane service
-
-The Gateway resource must have listeners configured for both ports (6443 and 8132) to support both routes.

 ## Prerequisites

-Before using Gateway API support, ensure:
+Before using Gateway API mode, please ensure:

 1. **Gateway API CRDs are installed** in your cluster (Required CRDs: `GatewayClass`, `Gateway`, `TLSRoute`)

-2. **A Gateway resource exists** with appropriate listeners configured:
-    - At minimum, listeners for ports 6443 (control plane) and 8132 (Konnectivity)
-    - TLS protocol with Passthrough mode
-    - Hostname pattern matching your Tenant Control Plane hostnames
+2. **A Gateway resource exists** with appropriate configuration (see examples in this guide):
+    - Listeners for kube-apiserver.
+    - Use TLS protocol with Passthrough mode
+    - Hostname (or Hostname pattern) matching your Tenant Control Plane hostname

-3. **DNS is configured** to resolve your hostnames to the Gateway's external address
+3. (optional) **DNS is configured** to resolve hostnames (or hostname pattern) to the Gateway's LoadBalancer IP address. (This is needed for worker nodes to join, for testing we will use host entries in `/etc/hosts` for this guide)

 4. **Gateway controller is running** (e.g., Envoy Gateway, Istio Gateway, etc.)

-## Configuration
+To replicate the guide below, please install [Envoy Gateway](https://gateway.envoyproxy.io/docs/tasks/quickstart/).

-### TenantControlPlane Gateway Configuration
+Next, create a gateway resource:

-Enable Gateway API mode by setting the `spec.controlPlane.gateway` field in your TenantControlPlane resource:

+The above gateway is configured with envoy gateway controller. You can achieve the same results with any other gateway controller that supports `TLSRoutes` and TLS passthrough mode.

+The rest of this guide focuses on TCP. 
+
+## TenantControlPlane Gateway Configuration
+
+Enable Gateway API mode by setting the `spec.controlPlane.gateway` field in your TenantControlPlane resource:

+    ### Verify
+
+    From our kubectl client machine / remote machines we can access the cluster above with the hostname.
+    
+    **Step 1:** Fetch load balancer IP of the gateway.
+
+    `kubectl get gateway gateway -n default -o jsonpath='{.status.addresses[0].value}'`
+
+    **Step 2:** Add host entries in `/etc/hosts` with the above hostname and gateway LB IP.
+
+    `echo "<LB_IP> tcp1.cluster.dev" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts`
+
+    **Step 3:** Fetch kubeconfig of tcp cluster.
+
+    `kubectl get secrets  tcp-1-admin-kubeconfig -o jsonpath='{.data.admin\.conf}' | base64 -d > kubeconfig`
+
+    **Step 4:** Test connectivity:
+    
+    `kubectl --kubeconfig kubeconfig cluster-info`

-Each Tenant Control Plane will get its own TLSRoutes with the respective hostnames, all routing through the same Gateway resource.
+Each Tenant Control Plane needs to use a different hostname. For each TCP, Kamaji creates a `TLSRoutes` resource with the respective hostnames, all `TLSRoutes` routing through the same Gateway resource.

-You can check the Gateway status in the TenantControlPlane:

-```bash
-kubectl get tenantcontrolplane tcp-1 -o yaml
+### Konnectivity
+
+If konnectivity addon is enabled, Kamaji creates a separate TLSRoute for it. But this is hardcoded with the listener name `konnectivity-server` and port `8132`. All gateways mentioned in `spec.controlPlane.gateway.parentRefs` must contain a listener with the same configuration for the given hostname. Below is example configuration:
+```yaml
+apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1
+kind: Gateway
+metadata:
+  name: gateway
+  namespace: default
+spec:
+  gatewayClassName: envoy-gw-class

-Look for the `status.kubernetesResources.gateway` and `status.addons.konnectivity.gateway` fields.

Patryk Rostkowski	1d05f2bb4c	fix: strip load balancer ports before updating TenantControlPlane status (#1082 ) Signed-off-by: Patryk Rostkowski <patrostkowski@gmail.com>	2026-02-21 10:45:43 +01:00
Parth Yadav	cc8a8e14fd	fix(gateway): allow explicit parentRefs for kube-apiserver TLSRoute (#1074 ) Previously, when Kamaji created TLSRoutes for the kube-apiserver and konnectivity, it automatically set the parentRefs `port` and `sectionName`, overriding any user-provided values via TCP spec. This prevented users from targeting specific Gateway listeners. This change allows users to explicitly define parentRefs for the kube-apiserver TLSRoute through `TCP.spec.controlPlane.gateway.parentRefs`. The konnectivity TLSRoute behavior remains unchanged.
