Ingress controllers vs Kubernetes Gateway API

Ingress controllers: An Ingress controller abstracts away the complexity of Kubernetes application traffic routing and provides a bridge between Kubernetes services and external ones. Kubernetes Ingress controllers: Accept traffic from outside the Kubernetes platform, and load balance it to pods (containers) running inside the platform

Kubernetes Gateway API:Gateway API is an open source project managed by the SIG-NETWORK community. It is an API (collection of resources) that model service networking in Kubernetes. These resources - GatewayClass, Gateway, HTTPRoute, TCPRoute, etc., as well as the Kubernetes Service resource - aim to evolve Kubernetes service networking through expressive, extensible, and role-oriented interfaces that are implemented by many vendors and have broad industry support.
