Consul API Gateway 0.2 Brings New Cross-Namespace Controls

The Consul API Gateway 0.2 has been released and is now generally available. This update enhances traffic management capabilities by adding cross-namespace reference policy enforcement for better control over how traffic is routed between Kubernetes namespaces. Previously, users could route requests across various namespaces without explicit permissions, but this new feature allows more granular restrictions or permissions to be set. The Consul API Gateway 0.2 solves this challenge using cross-namespace reference policies, which can help prevent unauthorized access and improve security.
