AWS shipped GA support for Kubernetes Gateway API in its Load Balancer Controller, dumping annotation-based configuration for type-safe CRDs with proper validation. The release handles both L4 (TCP/UDP via NLB) and L7 (HTTP/gRPC via ALB) routing through the Gateway API spec. Teams get cross-namespace routing, automatic certificate discovery, and role separation without cluster-admin permissions.
