Operations
1 - Customize EnvoyProxy
Envoy Gateway provides an EnvoyProxy CRD that can be linked to the ParametersRef in GatewayClass, allowing cluster admins to customize the managed EnvoyProxy Deployment and Service. To learn more about GatewayClass and ParametersRef, please refer to Gateway API documentation.
Installation
Follow the steps from the Quickstart to install Envoy Gateway and the example manifest. Before proceeding, you should be able to query the example backend using HTTP.
Add GatewayClass ParametersRef
First, you need to add ParametersRef in GatewayClass, and refer to EnvoyProxy Config:
cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: GatewayClass
metadata:
name: eg
spec:
controllerName: gateway.envoyproxy.io/gatewayclass-controller
parametersRef:
group: gateway.envoyproxy.io
kind: EnvoyProxy
name: custom-proxy-config
namespace: envoy-gateway-system
EOF
Save and apply the following resource to your cluster:
---
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: GatewayClass
metadata:
name: eg
spec:
controllerName: gateway.envoyproxy.io/gatewayclass-controller
parametersRef:
group: gateway.envoyproxy.io

You can use egctl translate to get the default xDS Bootstrap configuration used by Envoy Gateway.
After applying the config, the bootstrap config will be overridden by the new config you provided.
Any errors in the configuration will be surfaced as status within the GatewayClass resource.
You can also validate this configuration using egctl translate.
Customize EnvoyProxy Horizontal Pod Autoscaler
You can enable Horizontal Pod Autoscaler for EnvoyProxy Deployment. However, before enabling the HPA for EnvoyProxy, please ensure that the metrics-server component is installed in the cluster.
Once confirmed, you can apply it via EnvoyProxy Config as shown below:
cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: gateway.envoyproxy.io/v1alpha1
kind: EnvoyProxy
metadata:
name: custom-proxy-config
namespace: envoy-gateway-system
spec:
provider:
type: Kubernetes
kubernetes:
envoyHpa:
minReplicas: 2
maxReplicas: 10
metrics:
- resource:
name: cpu
target:
averageUtilization: 60
type: Utilization
type: Resource
EOF
Save and apply the following resource to your cluster:
---
apiVersion: gateway.envoyproxy.io/v1alpha1
kind: EnvoyProxy
metadata:
name: custom-proxy-config
namespace: envoy-gateway-system
spec:
provider:
type: Kubernetes
kubernetes:
envoyHpa:
minReplicas: 2
maxReplicas: 10
metrics:
- resource:
name: cpu
target:
averageUtilization: 60
type: Utilization
type: Resource
After applying the config, the EnvoyProxy HPA (Horizontal Pod Autoscaler) is generated. However, upon activating the EnvoyProxy’s HPA, the Envoy Gateway will no longer reference the replicas field specified in the envoyDeployment, as outlined here.
Customize EnvoyProxy Command line options
You can customize the EnvoyProxy Command line options via spec.extraArgs in EnvoyProxy Config.
For example, the following configuration will add --disable-extensions arg in order to disable envoy.access_loggers/envoy.access_loggers.wasm extension:
cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: gateway.envoyproxy.io/v1alpha1
kind: EnvoyProxy
metadata:
name: custom-proxy-config
namespace: envoy-gateway-system
spec:
extraArgs:
- --disable-extensions envoy.access_loggers/envoy.access_loggers.wasm
EOF
Save and apply the following resource to your cluster:
---
apiVersion: gateway.envoyproxy.io/v1alpha1
kind: EnvoyProxy
metadata:
name: custom-proxy-config
namespace: envoy-gateway-system
spec:
extraArgs:
- --disable-extensions envoy.access_loggers/envoy.access_loggers.wasm
Customize EnvoyProxy with Patches
You can customize the EnvoyProxy using patches.
For example, the following configuration will add resource limits to the envoy and the shutdown-manager containers in the envoyproxy deployment:
cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: gateway.envoyproxy.io/v1alpha1
kind: EnvoyProxy
metadata:
name: eg
namespace: envoy-gateway-system
spec:

EOF
Save and apply the following resource to your cluster:
---

After applying the configuration, you will see the change in both containers in the envoyproxy deployment.
2 - Deployment Mode
Deployment modes
One GatewayClass per Envoy Gateway Controller
- An Envoy Gateway is associated with a single GatewayClass resource under one controller. This is the simplest deployment mode and is suitable for scenarios where each Gateway needs to have its own dedicated set of resources and configurations.
Multiple GatewayClasses per Envoy Gateway Controller
- An Envoy Gateway is associated with multiple GatewayClass resources under one controller.
- Support for accepting multiple GatewayClasses was added here.
Separate Envoy Gateway Controllers
If you’ve instantiated multiple GatewayClasses, you can also run separate Envoy Gateway controllers in different namespaces, linking a GatewayClass to each of them for multi-tenancy. Please follow the example Multi-tenancy.
Merged Gateways onto a single EnvoyProxy fleet
By default, each Gateway has its own dedicated set of Envoy Proxy and its configurations. However, for some deployments, it may be more convenient to merge listeners across multiple Gateways and deploy a single Envoy Proxy fleet.
This can help to efficiently utilize the infra resources in the cluster and manage them in a centralized manner, or have a single IP address for all of the listeners.
Setting the mergeGateways field in the EnvoyProxy resource linked to GatewayClass will result in merging all Gateway listeners under one GatewayClass resource.
- The tuple of port, protocol, and hostname must be unique across all Listeners.
Please follow the example Merged gateways deployment.
Supported Modes
Kubernetes
- The default deployment model is - Envoy Gateway watches for resources such a
Service&HTTPRoutein all namespaces and creates managed data plane resources such as EnvoyProxyDeploymentin the namespace where Envoy Gateway is running. - Envoy Gateway also supports Namespaced deployment mode, you can watch resources in the specific namespaces by assigning
EnvoyGateway.provider.kubernetes.watch.namespacesorEnvoyGateway.provider.kubernetes.watch.namespaceSelectorand creates managed data plane resources in the namespace where Envoy Gateway is running. - Support for alternate deployment modes is being tracked here.
Multi-tenancy
Kubernetes
A
tenantis a group within an organization (e.g. a team or department) who shares organizational resources. We recommend eachtenantdeploy their own Envoy Gateway controller in their respectivenamespace. Below is an example of deploying Envoy Gateway by themarketingandproductteams in separate namespaces.Lets deploy Envoy Gateway in the
marketingnamespace and also watch resources only in this namespace. We are also setting the controller name to a unique string heregateway.envoyproxy.io/marketing-gatewayclass-controller.
helm install \
--set config.envoyGateway.gateway.controllerName=gateway.envoyproxy.io/marketing-gatewayclass-controller \
--set config.envoyGateway.provider.kubernetes.watch.type=Namespaces \
--set config.envoyGateway.provider.kubernetes.watch.namespaces={marketing} \
eg-marketing oci://docker.io/envoyproxy/gateway-helm \
--version v1.0.2 -n marketing --create-namespace
Lets create a GatewayClass linked to the marketing team’s Envoy Gateway controller, and as well other resources linked to it, so the backend application operated by this team can be exposed to external clients.

Merged gateways deployment
In this example, we will deploy GatewayClass
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: GatewayClass
metadata:
name: merged-eg
spec:
controllerName: gateway.envoyproxy.io/gatewayclass-controller
parametersRef:
group: gateway.envoyproxy.io
kind: EnvoyProxy
name: custom-proxy-config
namespace: envoy-gateway-system
with a referenced EnvoyProxy resource configured to enable merged Gateways deployment mode.
apiVersion: gateway.envoyproxy.io/v1alpha1
kind: EnvoyProxy
metadata:
name: custom-proxy-config
namespace: envoy-gateway-system
spec:
mergeGateways: true
Deploy merged-gateways example
Deploy resources on your cluster from the example.
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/envoyproxy/gateway/latest/examples/kubernetes/merged-gateways.yaml
Verify that Gateways are deployed and programmed
kubectl get gateways -n default
NAMESPACE NAME CLASS ADDRESS PROGRAMMED AGE
default merged-eg-1 merged-eg 172.18.255.202 True 2m4s
default merged-eg-2 merged-eg 172.18.255.202 True 2m4s
default merged-eg-3 merged-eg 172.18.255.202 True 2m4s
Verify that HTTPRoutes are deployed
kubectl get httproute -n default

default hostname1-route ["www.merged1.com"] 2m4s
default hostname2-route ["www.merged2.com"] 2m4s
default hostname3-route ["www.merged3.com"] 2m4s
If you take a look at the deployed Envoy Proxy service you would notice that all of the Gateway listeners ports are added to that service.
kubectl get service -n envoy-gateway-system

There should be also one deployment (envoy-merged-eg-668ac7ae-775f9865d-55zhs) for every Gateway and its name should reference the name of the GatewayClass.
kubectl get pods -n envoy-gateway-system

Testing the Configuration
Get the name of the merged gateways Envoy service:
export ENVOY_SERVICE=$(kubectl get svc -n envoy-gateway-system --selector=gateway.envoyproxy.io/owning-gatewayclass=merged-eg -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')
Fetch external IP of the service:
export GATEWAY_HOST=$(kubectl get svc/${ENVOY_SERVICE} -n envoy-gateway-system -o jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip}')
In certain environments, the load balancer may be exposed using a hostname, instead of an IP address. If so, replace
ip in the above command with hostname.
Curl the route hostname-route2 through Envoy proxy:
curl --header "Host: www.merged2.com" http://$GATEWAY_HOST:8081/example2

3 - Use egctl
egctl is a command line tool to provide additional functionality for Envoy Gateway users.
egctl experimental translate
This subcommand allows users to translate from an input configuration type to an output configuration type.
The translate subcommand can translate Kubernetes resources to:
Gateway API resources This is useful in order to see how validation would occur if these resources were applied to Kubernetes.
Use the
--to gateway-apiparameter to translate to Gateway API resources.Envoy Gateway intermediate representation (IR) This represents Envoy Gateway’s translation of the Gateway API resources.
Use the
--to irparameter to translate to Envoy Gateway intermediate representation.Envoy Proxy xDS This is the xDS configuration provided to Envoy Proxy.
Use the
--to xdsparameter to translate to Envoy Proxy xDS.
In the below example, we will translate the Kubernetes resources (including the Gateway API resources) into xDS resources.
cat <<EOF | egctl x translate --from gateway-api --to xds -f -

Add Missing Resources
You can pass the --add-missing-resources flag to use dummy non Gateway API resources instead of specifying them explicitly.
For example, this will provide the similar result as the above:

Sometimes you might find that egctl doesn’t provide an expected result. For example, the following example provides an empty route resource:
cat <<EOF | egctl x translate --from gateway-api --type route --to xds -f -

Validating Gateway API Configuration
You can add an additional target gateway-api to show the processed Gateway API resources. For example, translating the above resources with the new argument shows that the HTTPRoute is rejected because there is no ready listener for it:
cat <<EOF | egctl x translate --from gateway-api --type route --to gateway-api,xds -f -

egctl experimental status
This subcommand allows users to show the summary of the status of specific or all resource types, in order to quickly find out the status of any resources.
By default, egctl x status display all the conditions for one resource type. You can either add --quiet to only
display the latest condition, or add --verbose to display more details about current status.
Note
Currently, this subcommand only supports:GatewayClass, Gateway, HTTPRoute, GRPCRoute,
TLSRoute, TCPRoute, UDPRoute, BackendTLSPolicy,
BackendTrafficPolicy, ClientTrafficPolicy, EnvoyPatchPolicy, SecurityPolicy resource types and all.Some examples of this command after installing Multi-tenancy example manifest:
- Show the summary of GatewayClass.
~ egctl x status gatewayclass

eg-marketing Accepted True Accepted
eg-product Accepted True Accepted
- Show the summary of all resource types under all namespaces, the resource type with empty status will be ignored.
~ egctl x status all -A

egctl experimental dashboard
This subcommand streamlines the process for users to access the Envoy admin dashboard. By executing the following command:
egctl x dashboard envoy-proxy -n envoy-gateway-system envoy-engw-eg-a9c23fbb-558f94486c-82wh4
You will see the following output:
egctl x dashboard envoy-proxy -n envoy-gateway-system envoy-engw-eg-a9c23fbb-558f94486c-82wh4
http://localhost:19000
the Envoy admin dashboard will automatically open in your default web browser. This eliminates the need to manually locate and expose the admin port.
