How to choose the correct network layer

[Fengwei Tian]

Hi all,

I've been working on KNative setup recently. I've seen a couple of network layer options:

Istio, Ambassador, Contour, Kourier

https://knative.dev/docs/install/operator/knative-with-operators/

I'm using EKS+AWS.

Could someone kindly guide me through the options?

Thanks,

Fengwei

Hi Fengwei,

If you're just running Knative and not other applications on your cluster, Kourier is the lowest-overhead way to get started.

Kourier: purpose-built for running Knative, no additional features

Ambassador: an API gateway with ability to perform rate-limiting, etc

Contour: a Kubernetes Ingress implementation with cross-namespace delegation

Istio: a service mesh with various API and authorization controls

There's not a single "right" answer here, which is why we support multiple HTTP reverse proxies. You should install whichever one works best for your cluster.
