gateway

Use the Kurtosis gateway to establish port-forwarding from localhost to the engine and service pods within your Kubernetes cluster. Verify connectivity by running kurtosis engine status after starting the gateway.

Kurtosis engine status shows nothing on Kubernetes when local connectivity to the cluster is not established. Start the Kurtosis gateway to manage port-forwarding and bridge localhost to the engine and service pods.

Manage the Kurtosis gateway lifecycle using simple start, verify, and stop commands. These commands supervise the gateway process and maintain port-forwarding from localhost to the Kubernetes engine and service pods.

You need to start the Kurtosis gateway when using Kurtosis with Kubernetes, especially if services aren't reachable or the engine status is unreachable. It facilitates local access by forwarding ports to the cluster.

Yes, the Kurtosis gateway implements common troubleshooting guidance to diagnose connectivity issues when the engine appears unreachable. It supervises port-forward management to ensure secure and reliable local access to Kubernetes.

Yes, the Kurtosis gateway forwards local ports to both the Kurtosis engine and services running in a Kubernetes cluster. It applies Kubernetes-aware commands to ensure reliable local connectivity to all relevant pods.
