TEG (Tetrate Enterprise Gateway for Envoy) is a supported distribution that delivers a cloud native API and service gateway for Kubernetes.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Tetrate, the company bringing Istio and Envoy to the enterprise, is announcing its support of Envoy Gateway 1.0 with the general availability of Tetrate Enterprise Gateway for Envoy (TEG), becoming the first ecosystem vendor to release an enterprise-grade and fully supported distribution of Envoy Gateway with upstream APIs.
**TEG is available now. Request a TEG demo and try the quickstart guide.**
*About the Open Source Envoy Gateway Project*
The Envoy Gateway community released version 1.0 ahead of the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon event in Paris in March, modernizing ingress for everyone using Kubernetes. Version 1.0 brings the enterprise a modern, production-ready alternative to legacy Kubernetes ingress options.
Tetrate engineers have participated with the Envoy community as contributors and maintainers of the Envoy Gateway project, and worked with early TEG customers to help deliver version 1.0 of the open source Envoy Gateway project. Notably, Envoy Gateway also natively supports the new Gateway API, as a replacement for the aging ingress resource. The new Gateway API standard is aware of modern multi-tenant, role-based use cases, is much more expressive than the traditional ingress resource, and is designed from the outset to be extensible in simple and re-usable ways.
*Tetrate Delivers TEG, a Powerful Envoy Gateway Offering*
TEG is a 100% upstream distribution of Envoy Gateway, empowering users with all the features needed to run Envoy Gateway as ingress in production Kubernetes environments, powered by a fully upstream API set for consistency and stability. Scalable, reliable, performant and secure, TEG is designed to meet the requirements of large and mission-critical applications.
"Tetrate is the first to deliver a simple, standardized and powerful Envoy Gateway offering for the enterprise," said Varun Talwar, co-founder of Tetrate. "The availability of Envoy Gateway 1.0 and the release of TEG to GA signals production readiness for this new standard gateway implementation when working in Kubernetes, freeing developers from the limitations of legacy ingress options. Developers can now deploy Envoy Gateway with confidence, and because it's supported by Tetrate they can do so without hesitation."
With TEG, open source Envoy Gateway 1.0 is optimized for:
- Application delivery management using the scalable Kubernetes Gateway API
- Global rate limiting
- Easier installation and bundled dependencies like Redis
- Built-in high performance web application firewall
- TLS encryption that is Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 compliant to protect critical applications
- Built-in security capabilities like Oauth2, Basic Authentication, header injection, IP block/allow lists and JWT authentication
- Enterprise-level support

TEG extends Tetrate's product portfolio, which includes Tetrate Istio Subscription, Tetrate Service Express and Tetrate Service Bridge, to help Kubernetes adopters leverage a state-of-the-art ingress controller with open standards as the first step in their modernization journey.
"The work of committed community members in bringing projects to production readiness is key to open source sustainability and to delivering value for end users," said Chris Aniszczyk, chief technology officer at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. "Tetrate has played an instrumental role in making Envoy Gateway production-ready for Kubernetes and the wider ecosystem. We're encouraged about what the future holds for both the project and for Kubernetes users who will deploy it as a modern standard to ingress."
