  • Platform/SRE — Plan: EKS Auto Mode now natively manages Gateway API resources (Gateway, HTTPRoute) including weighted routing, header-based routing, and ACM TLS — eliminating the need for a separate ingress controller. Evaluate adopting Gateway/HTTPRoute as the standard traffic-management pattern for EKS Auto Mode clusters this quarter.
  • CI/CD — Skip
  • Leader — Learn: EKS Auto Mode’s native Gateway API support signals Kubernetes standardizing on a single next-gen ingress model; worth tracking as a data point when reviewing golden-path networking standards for EKS-based platforms.
