Note to reviewers

Hi! As promised on #276, this is a fresh article written exclusively for Kubesimplify. It is not a cross-post and hasn't been published anywhere else.

It walks through migrating from ingress-nginx to Gateway API with the official ingress2gateway tool. Every step was run on a real kind lab, and the outputs are pasted from the logs. Along the way it covers a canary-scope finding: on ingress-nginx, the canary weight on one Ingress also split traffic for a different hostname that used the same backend Service (23 of 100 requests went to the canary). After conversion, Envoy Gateway kept the weights scoped to that single route, so per-host traffic changes on cutover day.

Commands verified on a kind lab cluster on 13 Oct 2026. Drafted with AI assistance, then reviewed and approved by me.
