+# Gateway DNS for Cluster Operators
+
+This user guide walks you through an example of how to configure DNS for all routes attached to an ingress gateway.

+<br/>
+
+## Requisites
+
+- [Docker](https://docker.io)
+- [Rout53 Hosted Zone](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/CreatingHostedZone.html)
+
+### Setup
+
+This step uses tooling from the Kuadrant Operator component to create a containerized Kubernetes server locally using [Kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io),
+where it installs Istio, Kubernetes Gateway API and Kuadrant itself.
+
+Clone the project:
+
+```shell
+git clone https://github.com/Kuadrant/kuadrant-operator && cd kuadrant-operator
+```
+
+Setup the environment:
+
+```shell
+make local-setup
+```
+
+Install metallb:
+```shell
+make install-metallb
+```
+
+Fetch the current kind networks subnet:
+```shell
+docker network inspect kind -f '{{ (index .IPAM.Config 0).Subnet }}'
+```
+Response:
+```shell
+"172.18.0.0/16"
+```
+
+Create IPAddressPool within kind network(Fetched by the command above) e.g. 172.18.200
+```shell
+kubectl -n metallb-system apply -f -<<EOF
+apiVersion: metallb.io/v1beta1
+kind: IPAddressPool
+metadata:
+  name: kuadrant-local
+spec:
+  addresses:
+  - 172.18.200.0/24
+---
+apiVersion: metallb.io/v1beta1
+kind: L2Advertisement
+metadata:
+  name: empty
+EOF
+```
+
+Create a namespace:
+```shell
+kubectl create namespace my-gateways
+```
+
+Export a root domain and hosted zone id:
+```shell
+export ROOT_DOMAIN=<ROOT_DOMAIN>
+export AWS_HOSTED_ZONE_ID=<AWS_HOSTED_ZONE_ID>
+```
+
+> **Note:** ROOT_DOMAIN and AWS_HOSTED_ZONE_ID should be set to your AWS hosted zone *name* and *id* respectively.
+
+### Create a ManagedZone
+
+Create AWS credentials secret
+```shell
+export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID> AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>
+
+kubectl -n my-gateways create secret generic aws-credentials \
+  --type=kuadrant.io/aws \
+  --from-literal=AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID \
+  --from-literal=AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
+```
+
+Create a ManagedZone
+```sh
+kubectl -n my-gateways apply -f - <<EOF
+apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1alpha1
+kind: ManagedZone
+metadata:
+  name: $ROOT_DOMAIN
+spec:
+  id: $AWS_HOSTED_ZONE_ID
+  domainName: $ROOT_DOMAIN
+  description: "my managed zone"
+  dnsProviderSecretRef:
+    name: aws-credentials
+    namespace: my-gateways
+EOF
+```
+
+Check it's ready
+```shell
+kubectl get managedzones -n my-gateways
+```
+
+### Create an ingress gateway
+
+Create a gateway using your ROOT_DOMAIN as part of a listener hostname:
+```sh
+kubectl -n my-gateways apply -f - <<EOF
+apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
+kind: Gateway
+metadata:
+  name: prod-web
+spec:
+  gatewayClassName: istio
+  listeners:
+    - allowedRoutes:
+        namespaces:
+          from: All
+      name: api
+      hostname: "*.$ROOT_DOMAIN"
+      port: 80
+      protocol: HTTP
+EOF
+```
+
+Check gateway status:
+```shell
+kubectl get gateway prod-web -n my-gateways
+```
+Response:
+```shell
+NAME       CLASS   ADDRESS        PROGRAMMED   AGE
+prod-web   istio   172.18.200.0   True         25s
+```
+
+### Enable DNS on the gateway
+
+Create a Kuadrant `DNSPolicy` to configure DNS:
+```shell
+kubectl -n my-gateways apply -f - <<EOF
+apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1alpha1
+kind: DNSPolicy
+metadata:
+  name: prod-web
+spec:
+  targetRef:
+    name: prod-web
+    group: gateway.networking.k8s.io
+    kind: Gateway
+  routingStrategy: simple
+EOF
+```
+
+Check policy status:
+```shell
+kubectl get dnspolicy -n my-gateways
+```
+Response:
+```shell
+NAME       READY
+prod-web   True
+```
+
+### Deploy a sample API to test DNS
+
+Deploy the sample API:
+```shell
+kubectl -n my-gateways apply -f examples/toystore/toystore.yaml
+kubectl -n my-gateways wait --for=condition=Available deployments toystore --timeout=60s
+```
+
+Route traffic to the API from our gateway:
+```shell
+kubectl -n my-gateways apply -f - <<EOF
+apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1
+kind: HTTPRoute
+metadata:
+  name: toystore
+spec:
+  parentRefs:
+  - name: prod-web
+    namespace: my-gateways
+  hostnames:
+  - "*.$ROOT_DOMAIN"
+  rules:
+  - backendRefs:
+    - name: toystore
+      port: 80
+EOF
+```
+
+Verify a DNSRecord resource is created:
+```shell
+kubectl get dnsrecords -n my-gateways
+NAME           READY
+prod-web-api   True
+```
+
+### Verify DNS works by sending requests
+
+Verify DNS using dig:
+```shell
+dig foo.$ROOT_DOMAIN +short
+```
+Response:
+```shell
+172.18.200.0
+```
+
+Verify DNS using curl:
+
+```shell
+curl http://api.$ROOT_DOMAIN
+```
+
+## Cleanup
+
+```shell
+make local-cleanup
+```

+```
+
+### Enable TLS on the gateway
+
+The TLSPolicy requires a reference to an existing [CertManager Issuer](https://cert-manager.io/docs/configuration/).
+
+Create a CertManager Issuer:
+```shell
+kubectl apply -n my-gateways -f - <<EOF
+apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
+kind: Issuer
+metadata:
+  name: selfsigned-issuer
+spec:
+  selfSigned: {}

+```
+
+> **Note:** We are using a [self-signed](https://cert-manager.io/docs/configuration/selfsigned/) issuer here but any supported CerManager issuer or cluster issuer can be used.
+
+```shell
+kubectl get issuer selfsigned-issuer -n my-gateways
+```
+Response:
+```shell
+NAME                        READY   AGE
+selfsigned-issuer   True    18s

+toystore-local-tls   True    toystore-local-tls   7m30s
+
+```
+
+Check a TLS Secret resource was created:
+```shell
+kubectl get secrets -n my-gateways --field-selector="type=kubernetes.io/tls"
+```
+Response:
+```shell
+NAME                 TYPE                DATA   AGE

+### Deploy a sample API to test TLS
+
+Deploy the sample API:
+```shell
+kubectl -n my-gateways apply -f examples/toystore/toystore.yaml
+kubectl -n my-gateways wait --for=condition=Available deployments toystore --timeout=60s
+```
+
+Route traffic to the API from our gateway:
