[Book Demo](/contact-sales)Book Demo[Get Started](/products/kong-konnect/register)Get Started
### Unified management

Manage all Kong Mesh data planes with a single console. A SaaS delivered control plane means no messy database management for configuration data.

### Effortless upgrades

Run a command line or Helm upgrade your zone control plane. Determine when to perform a rolling deployment of your application — the easiest and safest way to upgrade.

### Policy configuration

View policy settings and configurations for any managed Kong Mesh install directly from a single pane of glass.

## Feature overview

Manage all Kong Mesh data planes across any zone in a single control plane.

## 01/ Flexible

## Centrally managed control planes

In a single interface, manage any Kong Mesh installation across any platform. Configure policies, roles, and more tailored to each environment.

## 02/ Simple

## Built-in configuration panel

Search and export configurations between zones to rapidly deploy and configure new zones, cutting down the time it takes to start a new project.

## 03/ Secure

## Self-contained RBAC

Remove the dependency on Kubernetes based RBAC configurations to gain full control regardless of the deployment model for your applications.

## How it works

Leverage the intuitive layout and simplicity of Mesh Manager for installing Kong Mesh across multiple regions for resiliency and reliability.

### Faster time to market

Onboard new or existing Kong Mesh data planes with a simple intuitive workflow lowering the barriers to application deployment.

### A single pane of glass

Provide Kong Konnect users with a single console for easier management and better visibility into service meshes.

### Improve governance

Organize your Kong Mesh data planes into teams, services, and zones. Limit access to authorized personnel with integrated role-based access controls (RBAC).
