Deploy the Gateway API integrator and Gateway Route Configurator charms¶

What you’ll do¶

This tutorial will walk you through deploying the gateway-api-integrator and gateway-route-configurator charms; you will:

Deploy and configure the gateway-api-integrator charm
Establish an integration with a TLS provider charm
Deploy and configure the gateway-route-configurator charm
Deploy a ingress requirer charm and provide gateway

Prerequisites¶

A Kubernetes cluster with a gateway controller installed.
A host machine with Juju version 3.3 or above.

Deploy and configure the gateway-api-integrator charm¶

Deploy and configure the charm

juju deploy gateway-api-integrator
juju config gateway-api-integrator gateway-class=cilium

Establish an integration with a TLS provider charm¶

Deploy a TLS provider
```
juju deploy self-signed-certificates
```

Integrate the gateway-api-integrator charm with the TLS provider

juju integrate gateway-api-integrator self-signed-certificates

Deploy and configure the gateway-route-configurator charm¶

Deploy and configure the charm

juju deploy gateway-route-configurator
juju config gateway-route-configurator hostname=testing.com paths=/app1,/app2

Integrate with the gateway-api-integrator charm

juju integrate gateway-api-integrator:gateway-route gateway-route-configurator:gateway-route

Deploy and integrate the flask-k8s charn¶

Deploy and integrate the charm

juju deploy flask-k8s
juju integrate flask-k8s:ingress gateway-route-configurator:ingress

Check juju status to verify that the deployment was successful. The terminal output should look similar to the following:
