A municipal team applies Gateway, GatewayClass, and HTTPRoute objects, but no traffic is handled at the edge. What critical dependency is still missing?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
YAML alone is just paperwork. Gateway API objects need a real Gateway controller installed—like hiring a receptionist who actually opens the door—or nothing listens at the edge.
Full Explanation
Gateway API defines portable resources, but a controller implementation must watch those objects and program the data plane. Installing only CRDs/objects without a controller leaves Gateways and Routes unenforced. CRI changes, blanket NetworkPolicy removal, or hostNetwork conversions are not the missing dependency.
