I am going to create a kubernetes cluster to deploy all my spring boot microservices. Currently I have a spring cloud gateway server, a eureka discovery server and my back-end and front-end applications.

Do we need gateway server and discovery server if deployed on kubernetes, as these services are provided as part of cluster?

Thanks.

You are not required to use the Spring Cloud Gateway or Eureka discovery server. Kubernetes provides all basic building blocks (like Service) implemented without additional software requirements (for example with plain DNS).

If you need a more advanced setup you can integrate kubernetes API in Spring applications or use other ways to integrate. For the 90% case there is no need to do so.
