Kgateway v2.1 introduces agentgateway integration for AI connectivity with LLMs and AI agents, full conformance with Kubernetes Gateway API 1.3.0, and global policy attachment capabilities. The release adds horizontal pod autoscaling, dynamic forward proxy support, enhanced session affinity options, and improved retry/timeout mechanisms. Notable additions include passive health checks with outlier detection and a new operations dashboard for Grafana. The Envoy-based AI Gateway is being deprecated in favor of agentgateway, which provides native support for AI workloads including MCP tools and inference tasks.
