Explanation
In platforms like SAP Kyma, the API Gateway is built on three core components: Ory Oathkeeper (B) acts as the identity and access proxy, enforcing authentication and authorization rules on incoming requests; Istio Ingress Gateway (D) manages and routes inbound traffic into the service mesh; and Envoy Proxy (E) is the underlying high-performance proxy engine that handles the actual traffic forwarding and policy enforcement.
Virtual Hosts (A) is a traditional web server concept (Apache/Nginx config) - it's not a dedicated API Gateway component. Istio Egress Gateway (C) is the opposite of what you need: it controls outbound traffic leaving the mesh, not inbound API traffic.
Memory tip: Think "OIE" - Oathkeeper (who's allowed in?), Ingress Gateway (how does traffic enter?), Envoy (who actually moves the packets?). Egress is the exit door, not the API gateway entrance.
