Generally Available: Announcing kube-egress-gateway for Kubernetes

kube-egress-gateway is an open-source project that offers a scalable and cost-efficient solution for configuring fixed source IPs for Kubernetes pod egress traffic on Azure. The kube-egress-gateway components run within Kubernetes clusters—whether managed (Azure Kubernetes Service, AKS) or unmanaged—and use one or more dedicated Kubernetes nodes as pod egress gateways, routing pod outbound traffic through a WireGuard tunnel.

Compared to existing methods, such as creating dedicated Kubernetes nodes with a NAT gateway or assigning instance-level public IP addresses and scheduling only specific pods on these nodes, kube-egress-gateway is more cost-efficient. It allows pods requiring different egress IPs to share the same gateway and be scheduled on any regular worker node.
