F5 NGINX Gateway Fabric
Implement the Gateway API across hybrid and multi-cloud Kubernetes environments with a secure, fast, and reliable NGINX data plane.
Future-Proof Kubernetes App Connectivity
NGINX Gateway Fabric, a component of F5 NGINX One, optimizes, scales, and secures your apps in Kubernetes environments. Ensure reliable app connections with easy governance and optimization.
Unlike Kubernetes Ingress resources, NGINX Gateway Fabric delivers many use cases out of the box, including blue-green and canary deployments, A/B testing, and request/response manipulation.
- Built-In Extensibility: Defines an annotation-less extensibility model with extension points and policy attachments to deliver advanced NGINX data plane features not supported by the API itself.
Component Overview
Efficient Kubernetes governance
NGINX Gateway Fabric simplifies management across hybrid and multicloud environments, minimizing complexity and enabling multi-tenant teams to govern with ease. It enhances Kubernetes with an annotation-free extensibility model for advanced data plane capabilities and by seamlessly integrating with tools like Prometheus and Grafana.
Core Capabilities
With built-in support for advanced use cases, a role-based API model, and extensibility to unlock the power of the NGINX data plane, NGINX Gateway Fabric is architected to deliver future-proof connectivity for apps and services to, from, and within a Kubernetes cluster.
Open source governance
Operates in accordance with established community governance procedures, delivering full transparency in the development process and features roadmap.
Self-service experience
Features a native role-based API model that enables self-service governance capabilities to share the infrastructure across multi-tenant teams.
Unified app delivery
Architected to enable both north-south and east-west Kubernetes app and service connectivity use cases.
Monitoring and visibility
Improves observability with granular, real-time and historical metrics and dashboards.
