This PR proposes Phase 1 of OpenShift Gateway customization: three curated GatewayClass profiles—openshift-external, openshift-internal, and openshift-clusterip. Users select a supported Service configuration through their GatewayClass without managing Istio configuration. The existing openshift-default behavior remains unchanged.

  • Phase 1 — Curated profiles (this PR): OpenShift provides predefined GatewayClasses for external LoadBalancer, internal LoadBalancer, and ClusterIP Services, incorporating OpenShift’s opinionated platform defaults, such as IP-family configuration, AWS resource tags, and load-balancer health checks. Solves OCPSTRAT-3781 and OCPSTRAT-3314.
  • Phase 2 — Customization API (follow-on enhancement): A typed OpenShift API will let cluster admins combine supported settings and specify proxy replicas, node placement, resource requests and limits, and health signaling for external load-balancer withdrawal, without exposing implementation details. Targets RFE-8505, RFE-8791, RFE-8556, and RFE-8835.

The progression mirrors IngressController configuration: Phase 1 exposes selected Service defaults as fixed profiles; Phase 2 introduces an API to override supported defaults and configure additional settings.

This builds on @rikatz’s original proposal in #1990, preserving his work as a squashed baseline. The updates describe the future customization API direction and add the MaaS ClusterIP Gateway behind an OpenShift Route use case.

A more details on each of the customization phases can be found along with historical iterations on designs can be found here.

The ClusterIP profile can provision a LoadBalancer when its defaults ConfigMap is unavailable, potentially exposing a Gateway intended for cluster-only access. Define a safe fallback or block provisioning before accepting the design; downgrade behavior also needs clarification.

🌐 Web query:

official Istio Gateway API Gateway.spec.infrastructure.parametersRef GatewayClass defaults service configuration precedence

💡 Result:

**Istio’s documented precedence is:**

1. Istio’s generated defaults  
2. `GatewayClass` defaults  
3. Per-`Gateway` `spec.infrastructure.parametersRef` customization

The class-wide defaults are configured with a `ConfigMap` in Istio’s root namespace, labeled `gateway.istio.io/defaults-for-class: <class-name>`. The per-Gateway reference must point to a `ConfigMap` in the Gateway’s namespace. Both use the same format, and Istio applies the Gateway customization after the class defaults. ([istio.io](https://istio.io/latest/docs/tasks/traffic-management/ingress/gateway-api/?utm_source=openai))

The `service` section is applied as a **Strategic Merge Patch** over Istio’s generated Service; supported customization keys also include `deployment`, `serviceAccount`, `horizontalPodAutoscaler`, and `podDisruptionBudget`. ([istio.io](https://istio.io/latest/docs/tasks/traffic-management/ingress/gateway-api/?utm_source=openai))

**Important distinction:** Gateway API’s generic specification says that when both `GatewayClass.spec.parametersRef` and a Gateway’s `parametersRef` are set, merging is implementation-specific. Istio’s documented class-wide ConfigMap defaults are its own mechanism; don’t assume they are the generic GatewayClass `spec.parametersRef`. ([github.com](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api/blob/main/config/crd/standard/gateway.networking.k8s.io_gatewayclasses.yaml?utm_source=openai))

Define enforcement for Gateway-level parameters.

Istio applies Gateway.spec.infrastructure.parametersRef after the GatewayClass defaults ConfigMap, so its service patch can override the provisioned Service. The proposal defines admission only for GatewayClass naming. Clarify that these classes provide defaults rather than guaranteed topologies, or add Gateway admission enforcement.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Prevent a missing ConfigMap from changing the ClusterIP profile.

The proposal says that when the defaults ConfigMap is missing, Istio uses its LoadBalancer default. This can also occur during downgrade if the ConfigMap is removed. A Gateway using openshift-clusterip could then receive a LoadBalancer Service. Setting a GatewayClass condition does not, by itself, prevent that provisioning.

Block Gateway provisioning until the ConfigMap exists, or define a fallback that preserves ClusterIP. Keep the ConfigMap available during downgrade until affected Gateways are migrated or removed.

@gcs278 Thanks for clarifying the support boundary. Given the limited downgrade support, abandoning the customization artifacts during downgrade is an accepted risk. I won’t insist on blocking Gateway provisioning or retaining the ConfigMaps during downgrade.

This accepts the downgrade risk; it does not establish that a missing ConfigMap is safe during supported operation.

As far as I can tell, CIO only propagates tags on AWS for LB. GCP and Azure have nothing. Azure does propagate to DNS records, but that's already common with Gateway API.

And there is no such thing as "global" configuration for sail library - it's all per-gatewayclass. I think it's best to leave it here in the EP for clarity.

As for openshift-default....I'm not 100% sure, the original implementation openshift/cluster-ingress-operator#578 did not change existing IngressControllers, so there might be a compatibility concern with altering existing load balancers. That's something we can follow up on later. At a minimum, we should extend the tags to our new profiles.
