Hi,

When will Application Gateway for Containers (AGC) come with Gateway API v1.5 supprt so we can use listernersets?
The version that is still used in the latest alb-controller release is 1.2.1 which by now is pretty ancient.

    Hello @ Jonas,

    Thank you reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    It sounds like you’re looking for Gateway API v1.5 support in Application Gateway for Containers so you can use the new listenerSets feature.

    Current Gateway-API support

    The ALB Controller (the managed component for AGC) implements Gateway API v1 (Kubernetes group networking.k8s.io/v1).

    • The latest released ALB Controller you see (v1.2.1) corresponds to that GA Gateway API v1 spec—it does not yet include the v1.5 extensions (like listenerSets).

    ListenerSets (v1.5 feature)

    • ListenerSets are part of the Gateway API v1.5 proposal and aren’t in the GA v1 spec that AGC currently supports and we don’t have a public ETA for v1.5 support yet,

    What you can do now
