Overview
The concept of the API Gateway has evolved significantly, particularly with the rise of automated, self-service platforms like Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry, and various public clouds. Traditional API management solutions often struggle to adapt to the highly dynamic environments of Kubernetes, typically requiring substantial additional infrastructure to maintain high availability and production readiness. Moreover, these infrastructures are frequently deployed in a centralized manner, reflecting the assumptions of legacy solutions rather than the true needs of modern organizations.
Gloo Gateway, as a next-generation API and AI gateway, is purpose-built for dynamic, ephemeral environments, including Kubernetes and other workload orchestration platforms. Uniquely designed with decentralized ownership in mind, Gloo Gateway offers robust functionality for a wide range of environments, from traditional on-premises investments like VM deployments or physical hardware to cutting-edge compute options such as Function as a Service. Unlike legacy API management vendors, Gloo Gateway is natively aligned with the Kubernetes Gateway API, enabling it to excel in these modern, dynamic settings.
Available in both open source (OSS) and enterprise editions, Gloo Gateway caters to various operational needs. The OSS version provides essential features to manage and operationalize Envoy proxies, including a user-friendly interface and comprehensive telemetry. The Enterprise Edition (EE) expands on these capabilities with advanced features such as distributed gateways, routing to other upstreams like AWS Lambda, support for GraphQL APIs, and a developer portal. Users can access these enterprise features by installing Gloo Gateway with an enterprise license, or they can choose to deploy the OSS version in the absence of a license.

- Amazon EKS
EKS add-on
An add-on is software that provides supporting operational capabilities to Kubernetes applications but isn't specific to the application. This includes software like observability agents or Kubernetes drivers that allow the cluster to interact with underlying AWS resources for networking, compute, and storage. Add-on software is typically built and maintained by the Kubernetes community, cloud providers like AWS, or third-party vendors. Amazon EKS add-ons provide installation and management of a curated set of add-ons for Amazon EKS clusters. All Amazon EKS add-ons include the latest security patches and bug fixes, and are validated by AWS to work with Amazon EKS. Amazon EKS add-ons allow you to consistently ensure that your Amazon EKS clusters are secure and stable and reduce the amount of work that you need to do to install, configure, and update add-ons.
