Try It Out
In this example we will deploy Envoy Gateway on a Kubernetes cluster using the Minimus Envoy Gateway Helm chart. Envoy Gateway will provide a Gateway API-compliant ingress controller for routing traffic to your services.
Step 1: Start Cluster
If you have a cluster to work with, skip this step. Otherwise, start a Minikube cluster. Deployment instructions
Step 2: Create Namespace
Create a namespace:
kubectl create ns gateway-helm
Step 3: Deploy the Helm Chart
Deploy the Minimus Helm chart:
helm install my-gateway-helm oci://helm.mini.dev/gateway-helm \
--version 1.9.0 \
-n gateway-helm \
--wait
If you want to override the chart's defaults, go to the Values tab, save a copy locally with your changes. Deploy the chart with your overrides using -f values.yaml:
helm install my-gateway-helm oci://helm.mini.dev/gateway-helm \
--version 1.9.0 \
-f values.yaml \
-n gateway-helm \
--wait
Step 4: Verify Envoy Gateway is Running
Confirm the chart deployed successfully and Envoy Gateway started:
kubectl get pods -n gateway-helm
You should see output similar to:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
envoy-gateway-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxx 1/1 Running 0 2m
Step 5: Test Gateway API
Create a GatewayClass and Gateway to verify Envoy Gateway is processing resources:
cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: GatewayClass
metadata:
name: eg-test
spec:
controllerName: gateway.envoyproxy.io/gatewayclass-controller
---
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Gateway
metadata:
name: eg-test-gw
namespace: gateway-helm
spec:
gatewayClassName: eg-test
listeners:
- name: http
protocol: HTTP
port: 8080
EOF
Wait for the Gateway to be accepted:
kubectl wait --for=condition=Accepted gateway/eg-test-gw -n gateway-helm --timeout=60s
You should see:
gateway.gateway.networking.k8s.io/eg-test-gw condition met
Clean up the test resources:
kubectl delete gateway/eg-test-gw -n gateway-helm
kubectl delete gatewayclass/eg-test
Step 6: Clean Up
Uninstall the chart and delete the namespace to remove all resources:
helm uninstall my-gateway-helm -n gateway-helm
kubectl delete namespace gateway-helm
