Deploy an Edge Gateway

Tetrate Application Gateway uses a two-tier topology. The front-end stage in this topology is the Edge (or 'Tier-1') Gateway.

The Edge Gateway is deployed within a dedicated Kubernetes cluster. This cluster contains one or more deployments of Envoy ('Edge Gateways') to handle ingress dataplane traffic and forward it across the internal mTLS mesh to a target App Gateway.

The cluster also contains the Tetrate control plane component that reports status and metrics, and manages the configuration of the local Edge gateways.

Automated (demo) Deployment

If you are using the Automated Deployment for a single-step demo deploy, then the Edge Gateway is automatically deployed:

Manual Deployment

You can onboard your own K8s cluster and install the Tetrate control plane and Edge Gateway deployments.
