⁠Overview

Contour is an Ingress controller for Kubernetes that works by deploying the Envoy proxy⁠ as a reverse proxy and load balancer. Contour supports dynamic configuration updates out of the box while maintaining a lightweight profile.

Contour also introduces a new ingress API (HTTPProxy⁠) which is implemented via a Custom Resource Definition (CRD). Its goal is to expand upon the functionality of the Ingress API to allow for a richer user experience as well as solve shortcomings in the original design.

See the repo⁠ for more information.
