We are happy to announce the release of Kong Mesh 1.9 and Kuma 1.8! This release is packed with features and improvements such as observability for builtin Gateway, a complete rewrite of the CNI and projected service account tokens support.
In order to take advantage of the latest and greatest in service mesh, we strongly suggest upgrading to Kong Mesh 1.9.
For more details, reference the Kong Mesh Changelog.
It is possible for a Mesh to only run workloads in a subset of all the existing zones. When this happens until now, you’d need to run a gateway to this mesh in all zones that wanted to communicate with this mesh. Now Kuma will find where cross-mesh gateways are running and route traffic accordingly. This will help further simplify multi-tenant and multi-zone use cases.

We released the MeshGateway back in Kuma 1.6 and the reception has been great. Kuma’s lightweight gateway is a great complement to fully fledged gateways and is also used to facilitate inter-mesh communication.

The v2 version of the CNI is completely rewritten in go and has the following improvements over the previous version:
