     9  ## Overview
    10  Contour is an Ingress controller for Kubernetes that works by deploying the [Envoy proxy][1] as a reverse proxy and load balancer.
    11  Contour supports dynamic configuration updates out of the box while maintaining a lightweight profile.
    12  
    13  Contour also introduces a new ingress API [HTTPProxy][2] which is implemented via a Custom Resource Definition (CRD).
    14  Its goal is to expand upon the functionality of the Ingress API to allow for a richer user experience as well as solve shortcomings in the original design.
    15  
    16  ## Prerequisites
    17  Contour is tested with Kubernetes clusters running version [1.16 and later][4].
    18  
    19  RBAC must be enabled on your cluster.
