Thanks to all our contributors! 😊

Action required

🚨 🚨 🚨 We’ve updated the Gateway API relevant LBC CRDs LoadBalancerConfigurations and TargetGroupConfigurations Make sure to update the CRD definition in your cluster. If you're upgrading the charts using helm upgrade, you need to update CRDs manually: kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes-sigs/aws-load-balancer-controller/refs/heads/main/config/crd/gateway/gateway-crds.yaml

What’s new

• We are pleased to announce the (Beta) of Layer 4 (L4) routing support for the Kubernetes Gateway API within the AWS Load Balancer Controller (LBC). This significant enhancement allows users to provision and manage AWS Network Load Balancers (NLBs) for TCP, UDP, and TLS traffic directly from their Kubernetes clusters, leveraging the powerful and extensible Gateway API. The LBC now fully supports the GatewayClass ,Gateway, TCPRoute, UDPRoute, and TLSRoute resources from the Gateway API. Please refer L4Routing for more info.

Enhancement and Fixes

• Upgraded Secuirty group deletion to be more responsive.
• Reduced the duplicated DescribeTargetGroups calls to enhance performance.
