Want to try it out yourself? The quickest way to get started with Kong Ingress Controller is with Kong Konnect. Learn how to efficiently manage and secure microservices deployed on Kubernetes using an API gateway. This tutorial demonstrates integrating Kubernetes services with Kong Gateway via the Kong Ingress Controller.

In this Kong Konnect tutorial, you'll learn how to get started with Konnect and manage your API ecosystem from a single, easy-to-use interface. We'll cover how to use Konnect Runtime Manager to set up your own Kong Gateway instance in Docker (1:00). Then we'll walk through how you can expose, secure and manage your first service using the Konnect ServiceHub (2:22). Lastly, we'll publish that API to our developer portal and show how you can share that documentation with your users and developers all within Konnect (9:20).

Managing your Gateways on Kubernetes has historically been a very manual process, usually involving the use of Helm for operations like upgrades. At Kong we've been working on the Kong Gateway Operator (KGO) to revolutionize the experience of operating Gateways in production. Say goodbye to the cumbersome, manual processes of managing Gateways. Our operator transforms the configuration and lifecycle management experience, automating the tedious and complex operations that used to bog you down.

Prepare to witness the powerhouse of the Kong ecosystem: Kong plugins. - the turbochargers propelling the Kong ecosystem into hyperdrive, offering you unparalleled control over API gateway policies with plug-and-play ease.

Kong Gateway 3.6 delivers a variety of new capabilities, enhanced UX and a brand new feature that we can't talk about yet. There are new Consumer Group capabilities, increased security when working with Hashicorp Vault or OpenID Connect, and there will even be a live demo of the brand new feature. Join Michael Heap (Sr Director of Developer Experience) and Veena Rajarathna (Staff Product Manager) as they walk you through what's new in the 3.6 release. You don’t want to miss this session!

Kong Mesh is an enterprise-grade service mesh built on top of Kuma, an open-source CNCF project. Kong Mesh provides traffic control, observability, and security for complex microservices architectures.

If you're an existing Kong Gateway user who is starting to dip their toes in to Kubernetes, this session is for you! Join Michael as he explains how Kong Ingress Controller works using Kong Gateway concepts. There will be a brief introduction to Kubernetes, and explanation of how to configure Kong entities on Kubernetes and even a live demo to show how it all fits together.

We are thrilled to share with you the updates from the Kong Gateway 3.5 release! You will find a ton of new features, anchored by improvements across observability, security posture, performance, and deVx. Observability: Security: Performance: DevEx: We will also talk about the improvements in WebAssembly support in Kong Gateway 3.5. Since our initial release in 3.4, we’ve taken your feedback to heart and made various changes and improvements to both the back-end implementation of this feature and the end-user experience.

With the recent general availability (GA) release of Gateway API, a key building block for Kubernetes ingress is now stable and ready for production use. However, the GA milestone is just the beginning. There are many new capabilities and enhancements planned for Gateway API that will make it even more powerful and flexible. In this webinar, we will look at what's coming next for Gateway API and how the project plans to evolve.

The Kubernetes Gateway API is the future of Kubernetes networking, and Kong are all-in. Kong Ingress Controller (KIC) was the first ingress controller to submit a conformance profile, and we continue to lead the pack. KIC 3.0 adds official support for the Gateway API and makes it the default way to configure Kong Gateway on Kubernetes.
