Gateway API

Configure GKE’s managed Gateway API controller via the gatewayAPIChannel field on GCPManagedControlPlane‘s clusterNetwork.

apiVersion: infrastructure.cluster.x-k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: GCPManagedControlPlane
metadata:
  name: mygcpmanagedcontrolplane
spec:
  clusterNetwork:
    gatewayAPIChannel: standard

gatewayAPIChannel accepts:

• standard — enables the GKE-managed Gateway API controller on the standard release channel.
• disabled — disables the Gateway API controller.

Omitting gatewayAPIChannel leaves GKE’s default behavior in place. The field is mutable and can be changed on an existing cluster.

gatewayAPIChannel cannot be set when enableAutopilot is true, since Autopilot clusters manage Gateway API themselves.
