Your Guide to Ingress and API Gateways: The Kubernetes Architect Library
Advance your knowledge of cloud native networking and become a Kubernetes expert.
Code. Ship. Run. With Less YAML.
Build apps using the tools and languages you love. Ambassador integrates top open source development, testing, deployment, and
runtime infrastructure with a cloud interface to help you be more productive with
Kubernetes.
Code
Rapidly develop Kubernetes microservices
Set up your ideal development environment for Kubernetes in seconds with Telepresence. Use hot reload, your existing IDE, and workflow to accelerate your inner development loop.
Telepresence provides a quick and easy way to get a full stack running locally, and each service’s development build can be fast and simple.
Ship
Safely deploy code and configuration to production
Incrementally release your code to production with automatically generated pull requests for Argo (no more YAML!). Monitor how your code is behaving with real traffic, and rollback if things aren’t going well.
The Ambassador Developer Control Plane is the first thing that’s made us feel like we have a single pane of glass on what is deployed into our cluster, and a great experience deploying those things! We code, ship and run apps using one set of tools that work together.
Run
Route traffic and secure access to your services
State-of-the-art L4/L7 traffic management with our ingress controller and API Gateway. Integrated observability and Service Catalog for fast incident response.
Ambassador provided an easy path forward at Greenlight for Kubernetes adoption and empowering self sufficient engineering teams. The first class support we received in addition to their rock solid engineering gives us great confidence in our partnership.
Built 100% on Kubernetes
Ambassador's tools and products don't run anywhere outside of Kubernetes. This lets you take full advantage of Kubernetes, and build software that is fully idiomatic with the Kubernetes and top Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) open source projects.
emissary-ingress
With a declarative, self-service model built on Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions, Emissary-ingress is the most popular Envoy Proxy-based Kubernetes Ingress Controller and API Gateway. The Ambassador Labs team donated Emissary-ingress to the CNCF and it was accepted as an Incubation project in March 2021.
telepresence
Originally built to solve our own challenges developing microservices in Kubernetes, the Ambassador Labs team donated the Telepresence to the CNCF in 2018 after recognizing that many developers were facing the same problem. Shipped in early 2021, Telepresence 2 solves similar problems for entire Kubernetes teams instead of just single developers.
Argo
The Argo project consists of four distinct projects -- Continuous Delivery (CD), Rollouts, Workflows & Pipelines, and Events all designed for building and managing continuous delivery workflows on Kubernetes. The Ambassador Labs team has been active contributors to the Argo Project since early 2021.
