cloud-native api gateway features-API Gateway(API Gateway)-阿里云帮助中心

Cloud-native API Gateway is a K8s Ingress-compatible gateway that unifies API, traffic, microservice, and security gateway capabilities. It supports multiple service discovery methods including Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) and Nacos, and provides various authentication methods for building a security perimeter.
