Using AKS-managed Istio External Ingress Gateway with Gateway API

The Istio-based service mesh add-on for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) can be combined with the Gateway API to provide a complete solution for managing traffic flowing into and out of your AKS cluster. The Istio-based service mesh add-on provides a set of preconfigured Istio components that you can use to manage the traffic flowing into and out of your Kubernetes cluster, while the Gateway API provides a standardized way to define and configure ingress gateways in your Kubernetes cluster. By combining these two solutions, you can enable a highly robust and intuitive solution for managing traffic flowing into and out of your AKS cluster.
In this video, you will learn how to use the Gateway API to manage the Istio external ingress gateway on AKS.
