The release of Kuma 2.3 brings experimental support for GAMMA (Gateway API for Mesh Management and Administration) resources. Kuma has long supported Gateway API with the built-in gateway for ingress traffic but with GAMMA support, users can specify how to route and modify in-mesh traffic using the well-known HTTPRoute resource from Gateway API. Gateway API is a project focused on improving the APIs around networking between services in Kubernetes clusters.

Today, we’re thrilled to announce that Kong Enterprise and Kong Konnect Data Planes are now validated to run on AWS Graviton3 processors and Amazon Linux 2023 OS. As an APN Advanced Tier Partner of AWS, we were delighted to have the opportunity to benchmark Kong Enterprise running on AL2023 and Graviton3.

Kong is proud to announce the release of the latest version of Kong Mesh 2.3. In this release, Kong Mesh continues to build upon the enterprise-grade service mesh in the critical areas of, security, flexibility, and resiliency. As organizations continue to leverage APIs to deliver digital experiences they rely more heavily on the underlying infrastructure that a mesh provides.

By now, when we hear the words “service mesh” we typically know what to expect: service discovery, load balancing, traffic management and routing, security, observability, and resilience. So, why Kong Mesh? What does Kong Mesh offer that would be more difficult to obtain with other solutions? Why is Kong Mesh with Red Hat OpenShift a great pairing? We’re happy to announce that the Kong Mesh 2.2.0 UBI Images are available in the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog.

API monetization is currently a trending topic for many organizations looking to beef up their revenue. Of course, monetizing APIs isn’t the easiest of tasks and requires quite a few moving parts. When it comes to monetization, you’re going to need an entire technology stack to handle the heavy lifting. Creating a stack that allows you to build a product and get to market rapidly is great.
