Kong Mesh 2.7 is here! And with it come a slew of new features to make our simple and powerful enterprise service mesh even easier to use and more powerful for your particular needs.
In this blog post, we'll cover the new features and show how Kong Mesh 2.7 can deliver a superior service mesh experience for your organization.
In 2.6, we added support for metrics in our policies with MeshMetric. In 2.7, we reinforced this support with improvements to the OTLP backend.
We’ve also listened to our users who were asking for a smaller set of metrics to be exposed by default. This is achieved with profiles, which by default hides some metrics. You can always use targeted policies to get more metrics during troubleshooting. This gives you the best balance between insights and cost management.
Here’s an example of such a policy:
Since version 2.6.0, we've recommended users migrate to targetRef policies. Up until now, it was a little hard to understand what impact a policy has before rolling it out. With Kong Mesh 2.7, you can now use shadow policies to see how your proxy configuration may change before taking effect. This is easily done by simply labeling policies with kuma.io/effect: shadow.
We’ve supported Gateway API for a while now including GAMMA support. We’re happy to announce that with 2.7 it's enabled by default.
We’ve also reworked the internals so that the Gateway API implementation leverages MeshHTTPRoute and MeshTCPRoute, which works well with multi-zone and makes integration between Kong Mesh and Gateway API very straightforward.
We keep shipping more improvements to our GUI. Some notable ones include:
Software supply chain management is becoming central to enterprise software. With Kong Mesh 2.7, we’re happy to add Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), container and binary build provenance, and image signatures. We’re also looking to perform an SLSA audit to attain an SLSA level.
Kong Mesh 2.7 offers the usability, flexibility, and security you need to meet your organization’s unique needs. From reliability and cost optimization to compliance and security, Kong Mesh has you covered.
