## Notes

Gloo Gateway is an Envoy-based gateway for Kubernetes that implements the Kubernetes Gateway API and runs as an ingress controller. It is installed in a Kubernetes cluster, and the glooctl CLI is part of its documented tooling. Solo.io, Inc. maintains the project.

The repository carries an end-of-life notice for Gloo OSS, the open source edition, and it still publishes releases. The notice names kgateway, a project donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, as its successor.

## Worth knowing

The README encourages users of Gloo OSS to migrate to kgateway. The product page for Gloo Gateway on the maintainer's site now presents kgateway under the name Solo Enterprise for kgateway.
