Gloo Gateway (Bonus Section)
In some situations, implementing a service mesh might be premature for your environment, but you would still like to leverage the functionality demonstrated in the Gloo Mesh module, focusing solely on ingress without wrapping up microservices. Solo.io offers Gloo Gateway, a product that focuses on ingress traffic without the need to implement a service mesh from day one. In this section of the workshop, we will deploy Gloo Gateway and demonstrate AI integration with the Hugging Face AI service, using the service AI Key and JWT token to ensure that specific users are authorized to leverage the service. This is a bonus module and can be completed if time allows.
