Breaking Changes
Experimental CORS Support in HTTPRoute - Breaking Change for AllowCredentials Field

Users of the Experimental CORS AllowCredentials field can now specify false.
The underlying API specification type has changed from a enum of type boolean to
just a boolean, so users deploying HTTPRoutes via libraries and evaluating the
experimental CORS support will need to adjust for the change in types. Please
see #​3895 for more details.

Standard GRPCRoute - Spec Field Required (Technicality)

This PR makes grpcroute.spec a required field. This is technically a
backward-incompatible change, as previously the field was unintentionally
treated as optional because we erroneously used omitempty on .spec (unlike
other APIs). Since the codebase didn't yet enforce explicit required markers,
that omitempty allowed a missing .spec.

Because .spec contains essential route configuration, omitting it renders a
GRPCRoute unusable and causes route implementation to fail, so we expect this
change will not have adverse effects, but wanted to call it out all the same.
Please see #​3937 for more details.

Noteworthy Changes for Implementors

This section is intended to be a guide for API changes that might inspire or require implementation changes.
None of these API changes represent breaking changes.

OverlappingTLSConfig for Connection Coalescing

A new OverlappingTLSConfig condition has been added to Gateway Listeners to indicate situations where
Connection Coalescing could be problematic. The Gateway specification for handling Hostname and SNI matching for HTTPS
requests has been clarified and now recommends that implementations return 421 HTTP code responses in certain cases.

Move BackendTLSPolicy SubjectAltNames from Core to Extended
  • The SubjectAltNames field of BackendTLSPolicy changed from Core to Extended feature. (#​3591,@​mlavacca)
The backendRef filter must send traffic to the correct backends when weighted routing is configured
  • A new conformance test was added to ensure backendRef filters don't affect weighted routing. (#​3604,@​dprotaso)
Clarify reasons for certain object status conditions
  • Set proper reason for Gateway parametersRef Accepted condition when parametersRef is invalid. (#​3579,@​mlavacca)
  • Improve GatewayClass GatewayClassReasonInvalidParameters reason description. (#​3553,@​mlavacca)
BackendTLSPolicy
GRPCRoute
Gateway.Spec.Addresses changes

A new type GatewaySpecAddress replaces GatewayAddress. In GatewayAddress the Value field was required. In
GatewaySpecAddress the Value field is optional. When the Value is unspecified, if an implementation supports that,
it SHOULD automatically assign an address. If an implementation does not support an empty Value, it MUST set the
Programmed condition in status to false with a reason of "AddressNotAssigned". The Addresses field in
Gateway.Spec has changed from type []GatewayAddress to []GatewaySpecAddress.

Standard Channel Additions and Changes

The Standard channel is Gateway API's set of maximally-stable install files.
Only features with the best testing and support are added to the standard
channel. This channel should be considered GA or stable, and future changes will
be fully backwards compatible.

Percentage-Based Request Mirroring 🎉

This feature enhances the existing request mirroring feature
by allowing users to specify a percentage of requests to be mirrored in both HTTPRoute
and GRPCRoute objects.

This feature has graduated to Standard and is now considered GA or Stable.

This feature's name for conformance tests (and GatewayClass status reporting) is
HTTPRouteRequestPercentageMirror.

This feature's status is Extended, meaning that it is optional for
implementations to support. If you're using Experimental Channel, you can refer
to the supportedFeatures field in the status of any GatewayClass.

Experimental Channel Additions and Changes

The Experimental Channel is Gateway API's channel for testing out changes and
gaining confidence with them before allowing them to go to Standard.

This channel may include features that are changed or removed later!

New experimental resources now start with "X"

This release introduces 2 new experimental resources:

  • XBackendTrafficPolicy
  • XListenerSet

Both of these resources are described in more detail below. As you may notice,
these resource names start with X and are part of an effort to distinguish
experimental channel resources from standard channel resources.

In addition to the separate names, these resources are also part of the
x-k8s.io API group instead of k8s.io, as a further effort to signal the
experimental nature of these resources.

In practice this means two things:

  1. These resources can coexist with standard channel resources
  2. Migrating to standard channel will require recreating these resources with
    the standard channel names and API Group (both lacking the "x" prefix)

For more context on this change, refer to the related discussion.

CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing) Filter

GEP-1767 describes how to add
configuration of CORS filters on HTTPRoute objects, and in this release, this change
has moved to Experimental.

Please see the GEP reference document or the API reference for the details.

This feature has graduated to Experimental and should now be used for testing
and verification purposes only. Experimental features may be changed or removed
in a future version.

This feature does not currently have a feature name defined.

This feature's status is Extended, meaning that it is optional for
implementations to support.

As there is no feature name or conformance testing available for this feature
yet, please check your implementation's documentation to see if it is supported.

XListenerSets (Standard Mechanism to Merge Gateways)

GEP-1713 defines a new mechanism to merge listeners into a single
Gateway, and in this release, this change has moved to Experimental. Following a new naming convention, an
experimental object name is prefaced with an X, thus ListenerSet has changed to XListenerSet.
The object group name has changed from gateway.networking.k8s.io to gateway.networking.x-k8s.io.

Please see the GEP reference document or the API reference for the details.

  • Introduces ListenerSet API & Generate Clients (in the group gateway.networking.k8s-x.io) (#​3588,@​dprotaso)
  • The resource ListenerSet has been renamed to XListenerSet. The Resource BackendTrafficPolicy has been renamed to
    XBackendTrafficPolicy. (#​3682,@​mlavacca)
XBackendTrafficPolicy (Retry Budgets)

GEP-3388
specifies the configuration of a "retry budget" across all endpoints of a destination service in order to prevent
additional client-side retries after reaching a configured threshold. The budget can be configured using a maximum
percentage of active requests, or an interval during which requests will be considered. In this release, this change has
moved to Experimental. Following a new naming convention, an experimental object name is prefaced with an X, thus
BackendTrafficPolicy has changed to XBackendTrafficPolicy. The object group name has changed from
gateway.networking.k8s.io to gateway.networking.x-k8s.io.

Please see the GEP reference document or the API reference for the details.

  • Add GEP-3388 HTTP Retry Budget (#​3488,@​ericdbishop)
  • The resource ListenerSet has been renamed to XListenerSet. The Resource BackendTrafficPolicy has been renamed to
    XBackendTrafficPolicy. (#​3682,@​mlavacca)
  • Retry budget fields are now in their own struct, moving from budgetPercent and budgetInterval to budget.percent
    and budget.interval respectively. (#​3695,@​youngnick)
BackendLBPolicy has been replaced by XBackendTrafficPolicy

In the interest of combining similar concepts in a single policy, we've decided
to merge the contents of BackendLBPolicy (session persistence) into
XBackendTrafficPolicy (retry budgets).
