GAMMA definition section in the Istio integration section #445
Description
Description:
This issue proposes adding a new section to the Istio integration documentation to clarify kGateway's role within the GAMMA initiative. This is regarding kGateway's ability to support mesh features, specifically Service parentRefs for HTTPRoute.
Context:
- kGateway is an API gateway and ingress controller, not a service mesh.
- It can be used in a service mesh context as a waypoint proxy.
- In this waypoint role, kGateway can be configured with parentRefs that point to a Service.
Proposed Changes:
- Will add a new section to the docs/integrations/istio/ documentation which'll explain what the GAMMA initiative is.
- Will clarify that while kGateway is not a service mesh, it can serve as a waypoint and a link to the existing waypoint documentation: https://kgateway.dev/docs/integrations/istio/ambient/waypoint/.
This will help clarify the distinction and guide users to the correct information.
