Give your OpenShift workloads a stable outbound identity that survives node maintenance, upgrades, and scaling.
While native OpenShift EgressIP works well for many deployments, some production environments encounter operational challenges during node maintenance, upgrades, and failover events. WireGress provides a dedicated, managed alternative with predictable outbound connectivity.
Production OpenShift environments can encounter challenges such as:
These issues can lead to failed integrations, interrupted pipelines, and additional operational work for platform teams.
Your workloads route outbound traffic through a dedicated WireGress gateway with its own fixed public IP.
The public IP is provided by the WireGress gateway rather than individual cluster nodes, reducing dependence on node placement and native EgressIP assignment.
Route selected namespaces or workloads through the WireGress gateway while continuing to use your existing NetworkPolicies.
Your public IP remains consistent while your cluster evolves through upgrades, scaling, and maintenance.
| Feature | Native OpenShift EgressIP | WireGress |
|---|---|---|
| Outbound IP Stability | Depends on node assignment | Dedicated & consistent |
| Behavior During Node Events | May require operational intervention | Stable by design |
| Management | Cluster-managed | Fully managed by WireGress |
| Operational Overhead | Higher during changes | Significantly reduced |
| Failover | Limited | Automatic (HA plans) |
Provision a WireGress gateway (Core or HA plan)
Configure selected OpenShift workloads or namespaces to route outbound traffic through the WireGress gateway
Update vendor allow-lists with your dedicated static public IP
Continue normal OpenShift operations—upgrades, scaling, and maintenance no longer affect your outbound identity
