Summary

The ngrok Kubernetes Operator is a game-changer for Kubernetes ingress, providing an easy-to-use and intuitive interface for managing traffic, endpoints, and Traffic Policy. It supports the Gateway API and Ingress resources, allowing users to create cloud and agent endpoints, which can be bound publicly or internally. The Operator also features automatic translation of Gateway API and Ingress resources into ngrok resources, making it easy to deploy ingress to Kubernetes in minutes. With its powerful bindings feature, users can connect services or entire clusters with site-to-site connectivity without VPNs or other complex networking. The Operator is an open-source project on GitHub, and the team welcomes feedback and ideas for improving its functionality. As of December 31, 2025, edges will be deprecated, and users will need to transition to the new paradigm of endpoints and Traffic Policy.
