Try the Ingress NGINX Migration Assistant

Migrating Kubernetes Ingress shouldn't require an exhaustive audit of two different documentation sets. The HAProxy Migration Assistant acts as a centralized technical compass, providing the specific logic and mappings needed to transition your ingress layer with precision.

Rather than trial-and-error YAML hacking, use the assistant to identify the exact configuration paths required for your microservices. It is a focused toolkit built to eliminate the "translation tax" of moving to a high-performance data plane.

HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller

Supercharge your Kubernetes environment by adding advanced TCP and HTTP routing that connects clients outside your Kubernetes cluster with containers running inside. Follows the Ingress API standard — bringing greater flexibility, high-performance routing with ultra-low latency, and cost savings to organizations of all sizes.

HAProxy Unified Gateway (HUG) beta

HAProxy Unified Gateway (beta) is a free, open-source product providing unified, high-performance, Kubernetes-native application routing for both Gateway API and Ingress. It provides flexible protocol support, role-based access control, and a low-risk, gradual migration path for organizations moving from Ingress to Gateway API.

Introducing HAProxy Universal Mesh

Enable more seamless and secure connectivity and connect systems across different environments, such as business units, cloud regions, and outside partners. Universal Mesh allows both Kubernetes and non-Kubernetes services to communicate seamlessly, no matter where they're located.

Easily implement a streamlined approach to security, observability, and scalability that integrates with existing brownfield services and Kubernetes fundamentals — without altering network fundamentals.

Intelligent external load balancing and multi-cluster routing

HAProxy brings external load balancing to on-premises Kubernetes, rivaling the simplicity of similar public cloud setups. Powered by HAProxy Fusion Control Plane, you'll gain deep management, monitoring, and automation for your Kubernetes-ready HAProxy Enterprise clusters. HAProxy Fusion connects directly to the Kubernetes API for easier LB fleet management.

HAProxy also brings multi-cluster routing to your environment, letting you split your application traffic between clusters and leverage Kubernetes' flexibility. Ensure high availability, even if your applications live in different clouds or regions.
