envoy-gateway Helm Chart

Overview

Deploys Envoy Gateway (EG) components and optionally configures a Gateway resource for downstream charts (e.g. monitoring / Thanos gRPC route).

Features

• Installs Envoy Gateway via dependency (gatewayprovider alias)
• Vendors upstream OCI chart gateway-helm (Envoy Gateway) so you can layer custom GatewayClasses, Gateways, Routes, security & proxy configs
• Provides base values.*.yaml per environment
• Can be extended with security policies and TLS materials

Upstream Dependency

This chart wraps the official Envoy Gateway Helm chart:

dependencies:
  - name: gateway-helm
    alias: gatewayprovider
    version: v1.4.2
    repository: oci://docker.io/envoyproxy

All upstream values are set beneath the gatewayprovider key in this chart’s values.yaml / environment overrides. This lets you:

• Keep local opinionated manifests (Gateway, HTTPRoute, GRPCRoute, security policies)
• Override upstream defaults without forking
• Pin the upstream version explicitly for reproducible installs

Update / pull the dependency before packaging or installing directly:

helm dependency update ./envoy-gateway

Configuration

Edit values.yaml or environment overrides. Common keys:

• gatewayprovider: Upstream Envoy Gateway chart values (mirrors upstream structure)
• Custom Gateway / Listener / Route definitions may be added under templates/

Deploy

helm dependency update ./envoy-gateway
helm upgrade --install envoy-gateway ./envoy-gateway -f envoy-gateway/values.dev-01.yaml -n envoy-gateway-system --create-namespace

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes v1.27+
• CRDs installed by Envoy Gateway (fetched & applied automatically by dependency if not present)

Notes

• Other charts (e.g. monitoring) will reference the Gateway created here
• ExternalDNS can publish hostnames defined by Routes rendered by this chart
