With the growing maturity of the Kubernetes Gateway API and the Argo Rollouts plugin for Gateway API, it's now easier than ever to integrate Argo Rollouts with any traffic provider that implements the Gateway API. This allows you to automate progressive delivery decisions based on custom HTTP metrics. While most traffic providers focus on north-south traffic, some now offer seamless support for both north-south and east-west traffic patterns.

In this demo-driven session, we’ll explore how to use Argo Rollouts and the Kubernetes Gateway API to control traffic for both north-south and east-west directions without requiring application restarts. By leveraging Istio Ambient Mesh and HTTP metrics, we’ll dynamically monitor application health to drive progressive delivery decisions.

Argo Rollouts is a Kubernetes controller for Progressive Delivery deployments. In the most basic scenario, Argo Rollouts supports advanced Kubernetes deployments such as blue/green and canaries. While this is great, the main selling point of a Kubernetes cluster is the autoscaling facilities it offers. Can you use canary deployments while still taking advantage of Horizontal (and Vertical) autoscalers?

The answer is yes! In this talk, we will see how you can combine these two worlds - progressive delivery and autoscaling - and explain how to perform advanced deployments even in the presence of autoscalers.
